This poem speaks vividly to me. You address your father, dead some 20 years, intimately and quietly share disappointment but there is no trace of dejection just a wistful mood of time lost forever and a father's ghostly presence. And you realize your mortal life shares a spectral quality with the dead which makes communication poignantly possible.
