My Dad died exactly one year ago today, this is for him.

Thirteen Seconds

Thirteen seconds of
3gp video on
An old mobile phone

Camera is all I
Have left of you today Dad,
It seems ironic

That you shot so much
Of me & the family
On your Super Eight.

Hours of home movies
Of holidays & air shows
All spliced together

Very carefully
from those yellow plastic spools
That had a strange smell.

I wish we could watch
Those flickering memories
Together again.

Not really much I can say except echo Suzi's comments.
