dad
with his divorce puppy,
brand new
for the kid,
the Christmas
lights
strapped to the house
like it
was
when life
was bliss.
the blow-up Santa
waiting
in a puddle beside the bush
for air.
playing catch in the yard.
welcoming
with open arms
every other weekend
the child
with tussled hair.
doing things
together,
off they go to a game,
to a concert,
to the mall.
both wearing the same clothes.
finding the time,
going the extra
step,
the extra mile,
showing
that he loves his son
despite all
becoming hard.
