My 60’s

My 60’s
meant childhood.
Unaware of changing mores
or real significance of
Kennedy’s assassination,
three sisters
and I 
were transplanted
to Mom’s childhood Iowa farm until
she remarried. Though poor, we had
good times!

Our family,
now ten souls, adapted, struggling, while
soldiers fought abroad.  Civil unrest was
little known to me. I enjoyed
summers, friendships, radio,...

The echoes of my past come
as a rumbling noise or a murmur
reminding me what I had gone through
and how I got to where I am now.

The twirls, the turns, the detours,
the deviations I took in encountering
dead ends, deep pits, steep mountains

My Granny

My Granny's name was Edna
But no one could say it
So they called her Bonnie
And she was

My Granny watered her ferns with Disprin
Every Saturday morning

Every night
She said it stopped her snoring
But it didn't

My...

I remember the beach sand and swing
when you and mother were still something
I remember the ducks in the lake
you held my hand watching their wake
I remember the sheep dogs when the day was through
and the mornings grass all covered with dew
I remember the dead man...

I am dying day-by-day
But still I want to live one more day
To change the system of our country
To change the thinking of our human brains
I am from a backward caste
With many hopes and with torn clothes
Still I am first in the class
But nobody want to...

(conclusion to previous "poem" here)

One afternoon, our home phone rang and I began, as usual,
a heartfelt chat with Sheila. My memory is dim.
What we talked of I can’t quite recall. I only know one thing:
I was being steered by my best friend, 
steered toward spilling...

She's only 9 years old and cries out in despair.
All she wants is for her mum to be there.
Her dad has remarried and doesn't give a damn,
But he puts on this façade that he's a great man.

I stopped to see you at your grave today.
I thought and wondered just what to say...
As I dug around and cleaned your stone.
I suddenly felt so very alone.
I played the songs on my radio,
Which played a part in your life.
Upon your stone it only says,...
