Two Short Elegies on Objects

Henry’s Hat Hangs

From a nail in my son’s room.

Next to it, my dad’s red baseball cap from Roosevelt.

Next to that, my blue T-ball cap, Sunny Senter’s written under the bill.

Next to that, Whit’s cap, yellow smiley-faced, bears his name.


Her Dresser, One Year Later

A flowered sheet winds

around the empty oak drawers

in a corner of my parents’ garage.
