REMEMBERING A GRANDFATHER Poem by Maruja Vieira

REMEMBERING A GRANDFATHER

Rating: ★3.5


From John Henry White
a student of Oxford,
to Don Juan Henrique
the founder of Dabeiba,
extends a geography
of names and dreams
wherein an indigenous sap
yields clear-grained wood
and the America
that this soil is
there thrives a most perfect root
to keep alive the line
of that foreigner's love.
