We always expected
that in two short weeks
a whole year could unwind
so that we were left surprised
and still tell stories
of when on the sailboat
your voice broke furious
through the wind
as we stumbled over the bow,
and we all sat then at dinner
frightened, exhausted
trying to find our humor.
Vacations with my father

The first stanza takes on more weight with each reading. Going deep with these ❤️
🙂 Why do we expect so much? Thank you for this kind reading.
