The wood stove in the kitchen is hot,
maple sap boiling, it must be spring
the record player running in the next room,
might be Loretta Lynn.
Grief is present, disconnected,
a soul soon leaving,
"precious memories,how they linger"
this heart is grieving.
Another grandma denied connection,
the songs still plays from long ago
"precious sacred scenes unfold'"
sun is setting,
there's no forgetting.
Pain, and anger, love and sharing,
hopes and dreams
alive they swell,
"the sun is sinking, shadows falling,"
remember the losses,
fears tell well.
A granddaughter naps beside me,
the dryer runs on the floor below,
no songs are playing in the next room,
I hear a caw
is it a crow?
