like the shadowy characters of the past
my grandparents and you
sleeping moth
a man is bending to smell a daylily
beside a little girl
frozen there on the frig
all my ancestors gather
when I miss you most
after all I chose them
how can we have wanted
people who can’t talk to us
except through the silence
by the time the notes arrived
the music had already gone
old violin.
