To A Grandfather Not Met

Dear Bill

Reading memoirs of your daughter my mother

Stories of how you broke a boxcar of broncs
and sent them on trained and tame

How at every school event
you would be the emcee

Would’ve loved being
there with you
and you living long enough
to be here with me

Hanging on the rail
while I ducked hooves
in the horse corral
and in the audience
of a poetry reading
joining in with the applause

Author’s grandfather with Baby (Uncle Bruce) on Silver. Author’s mother standing alongside – circa 1926
