Grandmas Rainbow Message To Me
When my grandmother’s soul left it was April
I was twelve; knowing she was no longer here ruined supper.
The phone call came during dessert - butterscotch pie.
I actually stopped eating it, and it was my favorite.
I had never before seen my mother scream or faint or cry.
It was weird when my grandmother left us, alone on this planet.
The day of her funeral I asked her to let me know she had arrived.
She did around supper time in the form of a rainbow.
I have never forgotten this.
