Homecoming
by A. Gautam

I was off to see my father past the fog and the mist.
The newspaper crumpled in my fist,
and frost lay like stardust on my shoulders.
My feet trembled against the icy floor.

I was off to meet my father at the train station.
Our photograph was warm in my coat pocket.
The bench was cold like a broken friendship.
The engine whizzed past my reddish ears.

I was off to find my father among the happy faces,
and people swarmed as bees attacking a stone
that had just flung past their wounded hive.
Then, he appeared like the sun peeping through the clouds.

My father, finally home in my arms melted the winter.
He returned whole after all these years
and gave life to my photograph,
now, warmer than all summers of my lifetime.
