PONIES
Summer 1947
[Grandma Longo :1874-1947]
She walked in slow motion
with the soft summer breeze
black cotton dress swaying
past her knees
strands of white and yellow hair
floating gently in the air
the ponies had come that day
grandma was blind
I took her by the hand
and she showed me the way

gorgeous
and very sensual,
Joe, I just love when you depart from morbidity.
Sensuality with age, a rare and lovely combination.
No crits or suggestions.
cheers,
Jess

when blind walk
they know the way
only ensure
that there is no chair
on their pathway
granny lived long long time away
today she wouldn't love to live another extra day
had she been alive today
