A Great Grandmother
Everywhere mosquitoes buzzing like a static TV
Dots of vex on my skin
I hear you singing like mosquitoes
Everywhere peacocks laughing like chalk dust music
Chills in my love red blood
I hear you laughing like peacocks
There, a hut home
A metal roof weaved with nature
A brick wall with open arms
I penguin forth
I see silken sari of a sunset’s kiss
I see teetering like a 3 leg table
I see skin of elephant trunks dipped in tradition
I see hands of the grand canyon lost in time
You carousel around
You see cotton bliss of a mushroom dress
You see toddling like a two leg table
You see skin of chinchilla fur brushed with curiosity
You see hands of the soft great plains
Great plains twined in Grand Canyon
I waddle you wobble
Dirt tickles our toes
Love twining our fingers
You show me the temple
An Earth floor of serenity
A marble wall of stability
Hands together we pray for each other

This is a recalling of a moment when I met my great grandmother for the first time; an old beautiful woman, living on the outskirts of everything, in her own peaceful way of life in a small abode. As a young toddler, I don't remember it vividly, but I can still feel the emotion and the magnitude of the moment when I reminisce over photos, and I can still feel it when I visit her today, much older but still young and loving all the same.
