THE BLESSING (Dream-Based Poem by Patricia Kelly)
THE BLESSING
[dreamed and written in May 1996]
My grandmother kisses me
softly at the corner
of my eye as if to bless
my vision
My child's heart leaps:
Daddy's Mommy!
This grandmother
who hugely mothered me
against her powdered
and corseted flesh
kisses me at the corner
of my eye as if to say:
look see how you are loved
