À propos de ce contenu audio
Jake and Noel explore the theme of tenderness through poetry, personal anecdotes, and conversations about ordinariness and care, beginning with Raymond Carver's poem "Still looking out for number one". They discuss how tenderness is found in the economy of words and the beauty of the ordinary.

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
