Untold stories and handful of wrinkles

Stories of firsts and the stories lasts

the first feel of cold water

and the first “1” on slate

the ragged surface of bench and holding dad’s hand

ice cold winter breeze and how it made those fingers freeze

those curls in his hair and the toughest hand shake

crafting with clay

sometimes stitching all day

tying a long pony tale

and wet skin of whale

a tight pinch on his elbow and a pinch of salt

those wrinkles are hiding thousands of untold stories
