The years wear hard
A subtle shaping
of winded word and salt tear
on the stone artifacts of time and memory.
I watch the tired sweep of your crafted hands
Even as your eyes pool before me.
I watch and…

My Grandmother
The shadows lengthen quickly
On the last day with my grandmother
I want to remember every detail
How she likes her tea weak
The subtle bite of the Dutch cheese
Always found in her
Just adequately stocked fridge

Rupture
This.
This rumble
Of foundation shaking
Trembling beneath the surface
Rippling uncertainties outward
This.
This frenzy
Of frantic grappling
To secure precious belonging

Tool
i wonder what you saw
mirrored reflection
steamily dissolving
as you silently stripped
your name
your history
your place

what did you feel
as you scrubbed away
your humanity
in service of humanity?
