Grandmother - June 5, 1998

an old woman sits alone
in her highback rocking chair
her frail body moves in time
beneath soft yellow light
from above
she sits and thinks
of the years come and gone
of the eager faces and noisy streets
and fresh apple pies and towering trees
of parties and ice cream
of latin and french and love
then the light catches her eye
and reminds her of
an old woman who sits alone
