grandma poem

under a spreading chestnut tree
i made a vow once, one only
this ancient silver bowl of mine
i am singing to you
you are my companion
the darkness rolls upward
old wine to drink
the long resounding marble corridors
to the passionate lover
why do you always stand there shivering
are you awake?
short and sweet, and we've come to the end of it
she knows a cheap release
backward, turn backward
