Happening/
A hidden gem
I am ego
driven.
Your father's bike
slipped in the monsoon rain; He was not wearing a helmet.
An evil rock hit his head.
/
Wailing sirens
from village to the city
clots forming; seconds went by in stages.
Panic
Nausea

I apologize
I was nowhere there,
I apologize
I never asked you about how you felt,
in that moment
after the operation,
when the Doctors shone a red laser light on your father's palms
and he looked down
not sure
of what he was looking at
or why the red dot kept moving around.
/
The memories will slowly come back
You may have to remind him of your names every now and then
This accident was a close one.
/
This accident did not happen
It was a happening.
