grandma in her seventy-eighth
grandma in her seventy-eighth
year says she is here
for her final visit of America –
picking her up from the
airport, i held her for the
first time in four years
like it was the last time
and lying in the bedroom
next to hers, i listen
for the familiar rhythmic
breathing of her heavy heart
.
