burgers on his grill

i can
still smell the after
shave
of my
father, see his hands
on
the perpetual cup
of coffee,
standing
at the grill on his patio
in his madras
shorts,
his chef's apron,
and sandals.
i can hear him call out,
that dinner
was ready.
come on, let's go.
pull up
a chair.
i sliced some tomatoes.
