dot dot dot dot...dot dot


the darlings had nana. 
i had desiree.

many an hour spent belly flat
on damp warm lawn.
i matching bite for bite,
sharing luncheon communion.
our menu?
me, pbj squares  
she, rose petals
and  for both,
honeysuckle nectar as chaser.

trilling canaries
in grandparent's aviary
were background soundtrack.
i confided and listened,
while we discussed life.

inner morse code 
of her wisdom,
i heard today
on faint frequency 
yet growing louder.
