Question

Our grandfather by the sea, blind.

His deck chair settles our rug on the stones

and his face takes sunlight like thirst.

We always play games that need speaking

each of our cards and moves are told.

And he smiles in his taking part.

We are saying our childhood to this old man

and his beautiful face, liver-marked and shy,

has no end in its space, no end in its gentleness.

to hold a whole life of listening left to do.
