on the pillow of his face
his smile was the down
leaking from a rip re-sewn
as if another face had slept
on his face leaving its stain
of dreams where it had lain
his face was a corpse
always about to rise again
out of its pillowy coffin
and mutter bring me a beer
what had I a boy to fear
it’s hard to sleep
without a father near
