The Boy and the Box

Connie Beresin

The Boy

He locks the door and walks away
leaves no trace
no letter, no e-mail, no call to say he’s safe

I still see him
walking down the street
as I drive to work.

I still see him
behind the wheel of the car
next to me at a light.

Before he shipped out
he caught a fly.
A highlight in his life
for a boy who never
missed a Yankee game.

And the Box

I wasn’t sure
what was in that box.
I couldn’t look.

So many pieces,
no one could look.
They checked his teeth.
They were his.
