GRANNY'S MOON

From
KANSAS COLLATERAL
by Roxie Powell, 1978


The moon's arc hangs
above trees
immurred in dream

My Grandmother sees me
staring
sees me deep in my intent
to understand

she passes on
leaving me
in some group of moments
she herself had never
lost

in the picture
at her bedstand
the moon hangs
in a deep blue sky

tonight, clarity
connects its arc
to her
far in the moon dark sky.
