Tanka for Father's Day

 my father's birthday

doesn't hurt as it once did

nor does Father's Day

pencil sketch hangs on the wall

memory of his voice fades

  1. Do they fade? I still hear my father fifteen years after I last heard it in an actual room

  2. You're lucky. It's been 41 years since I heard my father's voice. I can remember exactly what he said, even dating back to when I was two, but I can't hear his voice.
