|  | Searching for My Father's Father's Obituary Online 
You died in Missouri, in Oklahoma.You died in Pennsylvania.
 
 You were a fist, all knuckle
 and bone ground to points.
 
 I can only see one fist
 at a time, thrusting
 
 through water, mountains,
 my father's flesh, then mine.
 
 We waited twenty years
 for you, tucked away
 
 in our own cabin.
 We trained for you.
