my sister held your hand as you drew
your last and told me
your touch faded
finger by finger
until only in
her pinkie
and then
gone
but
papa’
I feel you
differently
in dawn air drawn
into lungs newborn sky
strisce di bianco in un cielo azzurro
a flurry of sparrows rising into beech tree
and echoing your whistle il frischietto del cardinale


This poem was published by the League of Canadian Poets in Fresh Voices #27 in November, 2022.
