The red brick walls safeguard us from the storm
soft comforter pulled up to keep us warm
in our new place
Oak leaves, like parachutes, fall towards the ground
alighting on the shroud of snow around
the bare tree's base
Brand new emotions we're discovering
as nurse pulls up the blanket, covering
your grandma's face.
// Poet's note: My wife and daughter both experienced the death of a
beloved grandmother in the year their weddings occurred. Joyful and
tearful memories are mingled, represented by these three blankets //
