ten years after.

Standard

ten years have passed

since the moment

when my entire 6-pack of grandies

at last

all on the same continent

 met for the very first time

in a large box on my front lawn

as long as i live

i will never forget that moment.

‘cousins are the barometers of how fun a family get-together will be.’

both a sword and shield.

grandma watches over her grandies

on a warm july evening by the huron river 

in argo park, ann arbor

 

“having a grandmother is like having an army. this is a grandchild’s ultimate privilege.

a grandmother is both a sword and a shield.”
