My Dad As Blue Winged Teal

My Dad as Blue Winged Teal

Life support had made him
fetal, feeding on O2
hissed through tangled tubes.
I signed my name
and click, he gasped, folding
like a shotgunned duck.                      
Then I passed out                                
and watched him
in the wind stropped rain,
thin hair plastered drip
drip slick, green split-
back gown untied,      
slosh and lift,
gown-wings flapping.
