Photocopy

Last night
My son told me, I am your photocopy

Stunned, it was a revelation
A thought, memory

Am I a copy of my father?
His pains, loneliness
Abstract philosophies

He must be a copy too, of
An ancient past
A forlorn town
Words of an old type writer

In time
I merge into him
Giving
My soul

An old pen
A Camera
Some words
A blood type

To my son

Last night
My son told me, I am your photocopy
