SORROW’S ANNIVERSARY

Almost a year
since I saw
you last
still,
not one day
that I
don’t think of
you
wonder
what might have been
think of your son
who
you’ve never seen
of your wife
and
what
should have been
so many joys
stolen
from you
biggest of all
black, hollow pain;
never will you
hold your boy
and forever will he
wonder
who
was
that
man?
