between my dad and mom -
brokenness,
late nights and drunkenness
between my dad and I
is but a magical moment:
the day
he made me a wooden boat,
a white, unfinished wooden boat
between my mom and I,
a separation of 15 years
and a killer
between my mom and dad
is a strange happiness,
a moment of contentment
by the hospital bed
and a 333-metre tall Tokyo Tower
between us,
a distant intimacy
written the next day after watching with my wife 東京タワー:オカンとボクと、時々、オトン, a movie based on the autobiographical book by Lily Franky, which is about Franky's family and the time he spent with his mother
