Where It Begins
A poem about the first image carried by fathers.
Fathers begins
with work-worn hands,
with quiet advice,
and the ordinary hour
leaning closer
to listen.
In the driveway at dusk,
it showed love by fixing what broke.
- Mira Vale

to change the room.
No one had to announce it.
The heart understood.

carrying its weather
with a steadier hand.
