She wove words upon us
Webs spun between trees
Let me tell you
Your father was so
Just wait, you’ll see
Constant talk
Constant stories
To teach
Inform
Warn
Control
At the end
She troubled threads
Bits of broken nets
Tell me something
Where are the kids
Who was that
Then memory let go of time
Her uncle’s state hospital
Became her hospice
Her age fell into flux
Her voice unraveled
Be sweet
I love you
Come back
(September 2011)
