Guilt and Regret
14.
calling the hospital
at six o'clock at night.
"He's very poorly"
but I don't go.
It's two hours away
and a Thursday night
I have plans for the evening
and work tomorrow.
The call from my sister
forty minutes later:
"He's gone."
I should have made the effort
even though I wouldn't have got there
to see him still alive.
Sorry, Dad.
