it’s fair to say my father dead over
a year now scandalized my mother by
being unfaithful throughout their marriage
before having the gall to fall and die
after months in a convalescent home
though at least he lived long enough to make
apologies weeping in a rusted
wheelchair holding her hand his own shaking
after his ashes were stashed in the urn
she saw his cell phone and took back mercy
