The Hamlet Project

How much of this leave is his?
What percentage of my wandering
Belongs to my dad somehow?
He gave me a bit of the leaving at least.
Passed back to my mother on Tuesday night
Or Monday, life is a series of goodbyes.
See you Thursday
See you Saturday
Be back soon
Which he did.
So I also got his returning
Along with his leaving.
I have his willingness to quit that crappy job and also
His willingness to return to it.
I have his going, his coming, his breaking, his repairing.
There is also his ability to leave while remaining in the room.
I got that too.
I have his leave, his stay, his return, his departure, his welcome his
Goodbye
His longing
His surrender
His love
His hope
His heart
His
His
Mine.
