Those Eyes
A Poem
Those eyes
windows to the soul
open, vacant, lifeless
nothingness
no breath
no life
the end.
Dammit!
Seconds pass and more seconds
an eternity
a gasp, a breath
seconds more
another gasp and another breath
and another.
Alive.
This is a non-fiction poem. I witnessed this exact event as my Dad’s heart stopped and then started again. It’s the eyes that haunt you.
On this Father’s Day 2020 I am so thankful that I still have my father in my life.
Happy Father’s Day Padre!
