A fathers' blessing
My father
and forefathers
stand behind me
a spinal cord of love and pride and light
Each one a vertebra
rigged with ropes of woven sinew
and held in place
by clear intention
and masculine grace
Each one rooting for me
Wishing me nothing but the best
Nothing but the best, lad
Nothing but the best
