Leftovers

a poem about what remains

From boxes my ancestors revealed themselves,

my grandmother kept the roses from my grandfather to be until I found their dust-scented petals in a ziploc bag 70 years later

my great grandfather, the adman I never met who dreamed of being a proper published author?

he kept each and every rejection note filed them away for safe keeping

I am left to be their historian, and I wonder what will remain after, what of mine will be considered important enough to be boxed up for posterity.
