Out Like a Lamb

Artist Widower

Grapes,
held by
paper hand
of grandmother,
are singing.
Grandpa
hears

and
reaches
forever
across a space
to paint her
perfect
mouth.

April 23—Synesthesia, sort of—turn something into something else for some reason (to better understand it, to see it differently, to cope, to escape pain, to glory in description or metaphor, or just the reality of it). Examples: turn sound into color, pain into flowers, trauma into a graphic novel… Alternative prompt: Auditory Sensory Meridian Response. Or both!
