Big Grandma, Little Grandma

Images you could drown in a trashcan
decompose the past as a safe haven . . .

Well Rolly, yer rugby's
a bit stretched
if singing does for us as
bluebird's wings twist and flash.

Lunch at a Thai restaurant:
curried tofu and basil duck
iced tea and chocolates.

If you go back you're trapped
in a long bittersweet regret --
the lie that never washes out.
So acknowledge the hurt:
the plain connection between us.
We are not the server but the served
the catacombs of time
parade their worms.
