granny pearl - timothy ashburn lyrics
granny pearl
a rocking woman . . . by her bed . . . wound a ball of years and thread;
a lifetime knitting through her head . . . of chances lost and sons since dead
as free as a laugh she hid our fears beneath the light dance of her apr*n
and she at hope like it was air
she often rested in slow measures . . . her gift was never needing more
and i am grateful to have simply known her . . . to have breathed her fragrance in
unchanged in a lifetime the mountains sloped into her fields . .
where the fruit trees danced like notes upon a score
the sky’s saprobic quilt . . . spread over her like a sea . .
and sleep dropped upon her . . . like a drizzle
the summer’s breeze slaps me back . . . bellies me up like an old friend
i see her ancestors, like piles of wishes, riding upon the backs of clouds . .
she knew that stillness was the first breath of eternity . .
as she sideways kicked up her heels . . . to the end of time
