In Memorium: Your Shirt

In Memorium: Your Shirt

... Your shirt, wrapped
around my shoulders
brings little comfort,
because it isn't y o u r

arms enveloping me
in a hug. I wear it,
anyway - I am trying
to recall the sensation

of your big, strong arms
holding me close to you
- I miss them. I'm scared,
Daddy, scared that I

will forget - help me in
order to remember - that
is why I'm wearing your
shirt. It helps you help me .....
