Why Did You Not Tell Me? Poem by RIC BASTASA

it is Jenny,
why did you not tell me?

the baby girl
lies all wrapped in cotton
warm in the hands of
mother

and it is you Arjing
in your newly found beginning
gone shall be the gallivanting days of yore

now you are no longer a kid
but a father like your father
before

it is a happy day
on the smile of the little girl
the universe and this galaxy
i tell you
always starts from there

Jenny in the night sky
is your moon
and Reyajen
is your one and only star

can you just be an ordinary
spectator?
