77/365 : packages


i remember sliding my five-year-old fingers
down my dad's oily nose to his
prickly beard, and then
cracked lips.

i can still hear the sporadic song of
diet soda
digesting in his belly,
my head rising and falling atop it,

thinking nothing was wrong
with the package
of his love.
