    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
