Raymond A. Foss Poems

Back to Poems Page

He was a man with secrets
hidden slices of his life
long pushed down
below the surface
covered with pithy jokes
told to his Masonic friends
He was adopted,
to take the name he had only
known, or so the story goes
interesting tendrils though
of other threads
woven into his story
of a mother and uncle
aunt in the sanitarium
blurting out truths buried in his attic
found lifetimes later
what did he know
of who he was
before he was
adopted
