Making Contact

His door's open, for now  - 

The routine,

Wednesday night at the range.

He learns

with Dad's direction...

Not hunting or masonry.

Nonetheless, a skill transferred, father to son, a moment shared.  

As often, involving THE BALL.  

We don't talk, we work on our swing.  

I'm learning now

that my time for teaching has passed. 

he's done with my MOM moments - 

worry and concern and all that girl stuff

But I'll take it,

this bit of parallel play

while working on my own swing

and enjoying the thrill of contact, when it happens.
