Song for my Daughters

 (sung off-key)

rarely -- if ever --

are you far from my thoughts

and still I can't bridge 

 

the expanse

 

can't rock you for comfort

or kiss your wounds

although you are only

 

a few streets away

 

we are of one house

with minimal cracks

your father 

our foundation 

rarely -- if ever --

are you far from my thoughts 

my tentacle wisps

 

finding you no matter where
