towards the end of it,
\nmy grandma believed she was a girl again:<\/p>\n
raw in the scab,
\na child pig-tailed in the Midwest<\/p>\n
pre-destiny that belonged to her
\nmother\u2019s mother\u2019s mother<\/p>\n
the dusk cast long shadows over the visitor\u2019s lot
\nand like an instinct she remembers<\/p>\n
that it is up to her to see that the herd makes it
\nback before dark<\/p>\n
nevermind that the tall grass
\nleaves welts on her knees<\/p>\n
nevermind that it\u2019s hard to stand up
\nfrom the rocker, palms to the leather<\/p>\n
what kind of soft god put her there?
\nin that kind of young where all that matters<\/p>\n
are chores and the condition
\nof the only place she\u2019s ever known<\/p>\n
with a strength summoned from the spirit
\nof getting done what needs to get done<\/p>\n
she stands to face the vision
\nof the cattle making their way home<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
