H Eye Jay K

His nose formed a sharp peak from that angle.

To catch his eye
I must move a mountain

dislodge the boulders in his throat.

I have one photograph of my father.
It’s black and white, taken by his brother.
In it his hair is slicked back so that it sweeps up off his forehead making a wave back over the top of his head.

When I get out of the shower, I look just like him.
