still neatly cluttered
with
papers
and bills,
a magnifying glass,
his wallet,
empty but for a twenty
dollar bill
and an expired
license. there's
a picture of his dog
and calf
taken
in Nova Scotia
eighty-five years ago.
it's in black
and white.
he looks happy in
the blonde
field
behind him.
i fill the box with
his things,
then turn
off the light.
