Pill-Bottle ScrewsA dent-weathered box sulks on the bench.It’s stuffed with sockets all the wrong size,wood-handled screwdrivers, a greasy wrench,and other odds unknown as trusty supplies.Was Grandad’s—still has his barn’s sweet stench,but rests untouched till there’s a job, when Imust fish for pliers among his keys, a clenchof nails, or some Beaver Lumber surprise.The final words he sanded from his lips:“Where’s Jean?” (his wife), to us from a bedwithin that ward. One, again, again a stroke. His photo mild on the mantel, trilby gripsa hook downstairs, and now his tools are spreadabout, like when he fixed my broken spoke.
