for my Granny

love will never be a past tense
with you
it will always be
an is
Is
Is

love will never be a jagged fault line
with you
it is a red tomato pin
cushion
a pillow to lean on
a soft hand patting your knee

with you, love will never be
something unquantifiable
it will be this many
hugs, this many
stories, this many
birthday phone calls

with you, love will never be
invisible
it will be present
in heartbeats
in wounds that heal.
