The title's intention was to depict the setting, but it confuses readers. Any suggestions? |
| At My Grandmother’s Headstone It is fall, but the leaves are still Green. I can feel their death Coming with the draft; I pull my coat tight. Today the wind is the reaper. My son, on the blanket that was mine, Is grinning. He does not feel cold. He feels the sun on his cheek, reaches hands Upwards to the blaze in the sky, I wonder how someone so tiny Could be warm. I remember, He is new. In time, he will know the cold. He is the rose in the graveyard. I lean over him, my shadow covers His face. I see my reflection In his eyes, he knows me. I am the sun. I am the fire that will warm him. |
