a few weeks ago my mom asked her grandson George
if he could clean up and get running my dad’s Harley that hasn’t run since my dad died over 12 years ago.
my godchild takes after my dad he rides like the wind and has self taught skills in mechanics.
my mom said she wanted to see the Harley go down the lane again before she died.
though I think my mom really wanted to give us a gift
she wanted us to feel dad’s spirit in that Harley roar
she knew
we would see it too
knowing he is here waiting to give my brother
the ride of his life
Sacha went to Willows for the weekend
to be with family
to high five George
to take a ride down the lane
along the rice fields
and let that motor sing to us.
my mom is a genius in how she holds us
leads us
and gives us courage
