Daddy's Shadow
Daddy’s shadow
Walking the beach with me
Daddy’s shadow
Walking the beach with me
I’m daddy’s shadow
Daddy’s shadow is me
Daddy’s shadow is
Walking the beach with me.
I buy a soft cotton beach hat,
A Florida-floppy with a brim
You can bend and shape,
The kind my daddy wore;
Then down to the beach,
Afternoon sun slant behind me –
Daddy’s shadow is
Walking the beach with me!
With that hat on my shadow
Seems/Is – daddy’s!
Shape of head under hat,
Jowels, jaw, chest, legs!
My body’s walkin’ the beach,
But the shadow is Normie’s,
Head to toe –
Ours!
And Daddy’s feeling great
Back by the vital sea
Back with vitality
For wherever there was ocean
Sand and crashing surf
Daddy’s spirit flourished
Loved to be
Loved to be.
Daddy’s shadow
Walking the beach with me
Daddy’s shadow
Walking the beach with me
I’m Daddy’s shadow
Daddy’s shadow is me
Daddy’s shadow is
Walking the beach with me.
