Question

what is fix in 3rd line in my father's hands poem

Answer 1

I like to wear a band around my wrist,

an amulet of copper, links of bling,

a hippy weave of cotton or dried grass.

Reminds me of the change

my father made as I grew up

from toddler to walker. Crossing a road

he stops holding my hand

and wraps his finger and thumb

around my wrist.

My bracelet now is like the brag

of a teenager leaving home,

flashing a cell-phone

where father’s number sleeps.
