his whistle
reminded me of my father's
whistle.
if you heard it,
you knew that things were
bad.
something was amiss.
he'd whistle and whistle
some happy tune
and we'd wait
for that foot
to fall, for
the tree to crash,
for the earth
to quake.
we'd run for cover
and wait
when we heard
that happy whistle.
