Grandmother's Apron

soft after draping over a wire line
dancing in the breeze of June

a pocket full of blackberries
just sweet enough to make your teeth ache a little

floured hands dusting light white snowflakes
as she unties the sashes in the back

to serve hot made from scratch chocolate chip cookies
to “her girls”

sneaking one too with left eyebrow lifted in mischief

ah… the unconditional love found in grandmother’s kitchen

in grandmother’s heart

how greatly i miss those times now that we are apart

her in heaven

me here in self-created hell

how i long for the day she holds me close once more
