Mel

from Nakoy by Jerry Peerson

about

For my father, Mel.

lyrics

I, I’m you
A shadow reminding me
What not to do

We, we’re you
Fruit that blew off the tree
Down the avenue

Lunch dates and your holidays
Were all I knew
Hindsight intensifies
All the silence from words unspoken

They, they cared
But when the darkness fell
Who was there
You were despite our sorrows
Still loved, still valued
That August day

Missteps and mysteries were nothing new
But when I remember you
I see your smile
And hear laughter too
We’re all born fallible
So sleep easy
All heartache is forgiven

We, we’re you
Fruit that flew off the tree
Down the avenue
