My Other Father Poem by Zyw Zywa
My Other Father
I get to know
my other father
by making trips
with you and wherever
we are you know something
about him to tell
and so I see
besides the memories
myself in other mirrors
Light falls on features
I know but that now
seem to cast other
shadows in this cave
of my thoughts, longing
for the warmth of the sun
