in fathers day fashion

dad,

wore your navy blue cardigan, the cashmere one from nordstrom.

wore your white whale tie tack from cape cod.

played your banjo tunes and your favorite jazz.

toasted to you,

and was given one red rose in the evening 

which i held up to the night sky

never saying goodbye

just goodnight!

in my stocking feet

in your 

elegant

embrace

lots of love,
