Today my father died.
Gone, he was here yesterday.
Left me, my family.
Not a note or goodbye.

I walked down the street
Counted each car on every one of the trains that passed.
One hundred sixty four
I didn't spend even that many days with you.

My father died today, but only in my eyes.
He left for the other woman last night,
And breathes with her this morning.

What holds you betwixt panic and serenity? That is, if it's not among the many querulous quagmires unfit for elaboration.
