Для дедушки (for my grandad)

we sailed together

stories shared

of places you’ve been

i’ve never been, but in your words and laughter

the whole world over

 

a slip of paper treasured

от дедушки, you wrote

remembered dreamt and understood

and shared

 

and now set sail again

empty ocean, turbulent seas i navigate

more stories to be shared

 

до свидания, i write
