Mine

My father's sweater, always in plain sight, I notice and remember sometimes. This I kept. Poly-blend grey and white, it's what he wore on Saturdays, hunting or napping. It stretched as he did; I wore it after he died until one of the pits wore out. Dead twenty-two years, there's almost nothing left of him. So I keep what I have, balled up, stuffed away, mine.
