Not really a father,
John Sibley Williams
I hold your ashes in my hand
or I believe I do—
hidden as they are
inside a heart-shaped locket.
Heavy as a finger across my palm.
You speak loud as lavender.
I am babysitting the betta fish
your husband bought after you died—
in blue because you love it.
Before I sleep, I watch
its tail. The flick, a heartbeat.
Whenever I leave my driveway
brake lights stare back at me
from your window.
