My back is mostly turned
to that framed antiquity.
I feel him watching, from time to time,
but not from behind --
rather from within, through the eyes
he half made, made of the stuff of the most potent form
of what's left of him.
I'm feeding his grandson, his quarter-son,
whose crossed brown eyes can only speak,
not hear, but all his fathers are listening.
