grandmother share with me

flowery opiate wisdom now

you don't know my name

i'll kiss your skeleton keys

and promise not to cry

your love is gone and

the light blue

dollhouse you built through

some anonymous sickness

lies shattered in my attic

the tiny red bricks you glued

on with tweezers and swabs

dot the hot dusty floor

and pink fiberglass clouds

i'll kiss your skeleton keys

and promise not to cry
