My grandmother
Soft like feather down
Pillows ripped open
In a pillow fight
By Matthew and me.
Her voice, serrated
Sharp by years of
Picking bo' weevels
Out of the flour before
Fixing up pancakes
Rips a wide gorge
In flesh and marrow,
While her black eyes
Wander from the T.V.
And back over the flesh,
Still bleeding, to find
If the maggots still
Squirm.
