      Looking out for number one, by Raymond Carver


      FOOTWASHING, by Jake Esman

      she had loved her father

      like any daughter

      valued his advice

      his kindness, his company

      yet she wouldn’t say

      they were close


      then, in his mid-eighties

      his memory went

      and with it

      his personality — partly


      he needed her care

      and she gave it

      willingly


      they were intimate months

      when nothing is private

      and all physical needs

      require assistance

      and that’s just

      how it goes


      she was not the first

      to experience that great sense of closeness

      of tender mutuality

      those days when she washed his feet

      and clipped his toenails
