At The 
Fever Bed 


I put the cloth 
of dreaming
over my father's 
face

and bid him
farewell

until the summer
brought the plums
he loved so much
back into my hands 

 And then I longed 
for his company

And so 
I asked my mother
 for a song 
to bring him here

Instead she sang me
back into his memory

on days that even now
have not left me

	- Beau Beausoleil
