final departure

tailgate
laugh
cry and load
my last glimpse
as you walk
the stairs to your man
the release is complete
we are free
my blood on the right side
of your mouth

it was good to do this,
this two day drive to see you for an hour. to see l. for a minute
as he was off to school. he has grown, his distance 
from me accepted, understood,
yet I made him smile. 
i will always remember
that smile

His smile
Your laughter
Our tears and times
My good bye
without saying it
