Half Time Dady Poem by Baharak Barzin

last time I saw you sober
you were on strong knees, taking me to school

hours passed and i found you ill
don't break me down, I said
but you were falling so fast

Hello my half time dady
how are you?
do you feel this earth anymore?

dying young was your best art
i found no gallery to show it to all, but my chest, and I show it to no one

there came people to say you gone
don't leave me now, I said
but you were ascending so far

this is your spring breeze singing
don't get into trouble Baharak
dady is watching
dady is caring
dady is praying
dady's been working full time, for you, for all days and nights, till end of the time
