TV


While looking at your picture
alone at my desk,
for no reason at all
this image came to my mind.

You sitting on the bed
on the right side, I recall.
You called me and told me to sit down
next to you.

I was very young then.
You told me to look
at the images on the TV
or movie screen perhaps.

CAN YOU SEE IT, SON?
CAN YOU SEE IT?
What magnificent images,
great colors and sound
WOW!!!
It is just great.

Dad, all I see is dust,
and a white cloth nailed to the wall
nothing more.

I love you so much,
so I followed your imagination
and pretended it was real.
So young,
just a kid,
how could I understand?
the powerful
destruction
of
alcohol.
