Mom decided to close up the house and rent us a place
in Florida so Dad could be someplace warm and sunny
till . . . Then, unexpectedly, he died three days later. Just
like that.
It really shook me up a lot and it took me a long time to
get over it. The shock of it nailed me down for a while,
you know. But I got over it, I mean the grieving part,
that is. You have to. After a while, you just have to let
go. But I still think of him and I still miss him. It just
isnt the same without him around. Like theres this
place inside me thats empty, you know a place he
filled. I really miss him. A lot. And I always will, I
guess. Hey, I mean, after all he was my dad.

I was gonna run last night. I was gonna run and keep
right on running. Clear to the Iowa border. I drove all
night with the windows open. The old mans two bucks
flapping right on the seat beside me. It never stopped
raining the whole time. Never stopped once. I could see
myself in the windshield. My face. My eyes. I studied
my face. Studied everything about it as though I was
looking at another man. As though I could see his whole
race behind him. Like a mummys face. I saw him dead
and alive at the same time. In the same breath. In the
windshield I watched him breathe as though he was
frozen in time and every breath marked him. Marked
him forever without him knowing. And then his face
changed. His face became his fathers face. Same bones.
Same eyes. Same nose. Same breath. And his fathers
face changed to his grandfathers face. And it went on
like that. Changing. Clear on back to faces Id never
seen before but still recognized. Still recognized the
bones underneath. Same eyes. Same mouth. Same
breath. I followed my family clear into Iowa. Every last
one. Straight into the corn belt and further. Straight back
as far as theyd take me. Then it all dissolved.
Everything dissolved. Just like that. And that two bucks
kept right on flapping on the seat beside me.
