Father: Visiting Hours Poem by Donal Mahoney

Father: Visiting Hours



To have him see me
see his face, tree roots
ripping through the clay,
branches out, supplicating,

I can’t take.
Better that I wait.
Better that he one day have
one last chance to feel

his one son’s son
tug a block beside him.
