grandmother poem

it was the autumn of the year
before the solemn bronze saint
star-dust and vaporous light
sleep, gray brother of death
i stood
the air is like a butterfly
birds against the april wind
by the rude bridge
perhaps it is no matter that you died
renew the vision of delight
the ships are lying in the bay
that strange companion came on shuffling feet
