What you find





In a folder
beneath the stairs
my father's papers -
useless insurances
receipts for several powerful cars
dwindling bank statements
nursing home bills
a lapsed funeral payment plan
his pastor's business card
and in a section of its own
a letter
confirming his membership 
of a right-wing party
