Through every nook and every cranny
The wind blew in on poor old Granny
Around her knees, into each ear
(And up nose as well, I fear)
...
One Christmas was so much like another, in those years around the sea-town corner now and out of all sound except the distant speaking of the voices I sometimes hear a moment before sleep, that I can never remember whether it snowed for six days and six nights when I was twelve or whether it snowed for twelve days and twelve nights when I was six.
...
Sitting in front of the fire, Auntie Flo's reciting a story,
it's one about her first Christmas as a newly wed,
the same one she broadcasts every year,
but no one is listening.

Dirty game
Blaring voice and strong signal came
Message from boy aging 9 for playing game

On the fair green hills of Rio
There grows a fearful stain:
The poor who come to Rio
And can't go home again.

Father and Mother, and Me,
Sister and Auntie say
All the people like us are We,
And every one else is They.
...
It is time for me to go, mother; I am going.
When in the paling darkness of the lonely dawn you stretch out
your arms for your baby in the bed, I shall say, "Baby is not
here!"-mother, I am going.

My Uncle’s
old blue van
gone to seed now

A Girl’s Reverie
Mother says, ‘Be in no hurry,
Marriage oft means care and worry.’
...
Hi, when you are near towards us
In this amazing horizon,
Light has scattered in the atmosphere,
Your original face is creamed

Auntie Mary’s
...
My daddy calls me Will-dog.
PaPa calls me chief.
I’m always baby brother
to my sister - oh, good grief!
...
He wouldn’t come out
of the closet
though she shouted
...
You have suffered auntie long enough,
You were brave strong and tough.
The battle you fought was long and hard,
But it’s okay auntie let go and let God.
...
The younger sister
Of the second wife
Of my dear friend
Of forty-five years
...
O God - or may I call you Lord? –
I remember when I was a child,
You were my best friend, one who knew me
better than I knew myself;
...
MY muvver's ist the nicest one
'At ever lived wiz folks;
She lets you have ze mostes' fun,
...
I remembered I'd promised my Aunt Adele before she died
that I'd get in touch with her family in Oz
just to put matters to rest, since they'd not spoken for years
since she upped and went off with this Pom

With Auntie(Warwickshire)
We drove - only to have a look at you - just the few miles down the Fosse Way to the farm where you'd been born but, with our cheque book at the ready, we knew you'd be hard to resist. Named you then and there after Gerald Durrell's TV pet - ‘Roger' seemed a perfect fit. So, after your Mummy Sunshine's farewell lick (your Daddy being out working sheep)
...
The Present, is simple and easy
but chosen with much care
they are so bewildered
...
I know of some guy in my hood,
In the streets he had an outlandish legacy,
When he was tripping hard everyone understood,
The drugs he did were no child's play,
...
Dear MONA REGINA, A VERY HAPPY BIRTHDAY….
R-regrets she constantly has
E-end of all are the disappointments her side
...
I ain't preaching, dear girl
'cause I know you, you'll curl
either your lips or your eyebrow
but, I only wanna congratulate you,
...
ALL MY LIFE, I´VE WANTED OUT.
Do you know what it means to me?
It is something that life´s all about,
it is something that helps me be.
Oh, how hard it is in our climate,
which is the grey of the fog of distrust.
I´am taking some cakes to my auntie
through a forest of all kinds of lust.
There I meet some nymphs and some gnomes,
young girls of indecent ways
as well as some stricter aromas -
stern ladies of former days.
Old auntie - she eats what I´ve brought,
and this time no Wolf comes around.
Fragile flowers reside in my thoughts,
and my love is a borderless ground.
ALL MY LIFE, I´VE WANTED OUT.
Do you know what it means to me?
This, my love, is what nature´s about,
and it finally makes us see.

Bob's my Auntie now
And Auntie Jayne is John
My sister, Fred, is such a cow
My brother's still called Ron,
...
You know you're an auntie
when your heart fill with joy
you know you're her auntie
when she only fell comfortably
...
I see Auntie crouching on the river bank. Behind her is a large chimney letting out smoke. I can't tell Auntie to do this or do that. Auntie takes a stand. She says she is going to cook devil-root cake tonight.
*
Auntie forgets what she just said and repeats the same story. One moment she is angry, but the next moment she is very happy. She cooked such delicious rice before, but now she burns it black. But she doesn't care, because she quickly forgets that she burnt it. Oh what a waste, so burnt up, she says, nonchalantly blaming it on someone else. Inside Auntie, so protean now, the conscientious Auntie of the past is playing hide and seek. Has Auntie gone somewhere else? No, Auntie is here, still. She is alive, with her pretty silvery hair shining in the sun.
*
Oh, you shouldn't, she said, Auntie tells me. A bent nail caught and tore her apron, she says to me. Then the guy just pulled his arms away. A dumb fellow, Auntie says, and she is angry with him. It was some thirty years ago, but Auntie, her nostrils flaring, is seriously angry for some time.
*
Of course what I see is not all of Auntie. Auntie invades me like a virus. Invisible Auntie is more dangerous than Auntie I see, because I begin to lose distinction between her and me. In an effort to see the invisible Auntie I try to describe her. Immunity?
A word like that is of no use.
*
Auntie treasures an earthenware teapot with a chipped spout. When she pours casual tea from the teapot into a teacup, she is most dignified. Then she deliberately begins to follow newspaper pages with her eyes. Captions for a deserted child and for a coup d'état are printed in the same font size, so Auntie well understands that there is no difference in importance between those incidents. She has lost three pairs of reading glasses, and she is now using her fourth.
*
There is nothing in this world that can be named clearly. Just as a cooking pot is an assemblage of parts that are not pots, a sorrow is the ruinous end of countless fearsome burdens which are not sorrows. A single name, like a black hole, is apt to suck in all other names. Names take root in anonymity. (For the moment I just leave it this way.)
*
We are going to have a better world, Auntie says. But she says, the world is at best something of this sort. I have seen Auntie crying facing the wall in the evening. All I can do is to keep an eye on her, nothing else. I am so terribly powerless. Because of that, from time to time, Auntie looks to me so incomparably beautiful.
*
I've come to realize the terrifying fact that there is only poetry in this world. Every bit of matter in this world is poetry. That has been the unchangeable fact from the moment words, as we call them, were born. How desperately people have tried to escape from poetry. But that has been an impossible thing to do. How cruel.
*
When she gets hungry, Auntie grabs what's in the pot in her hand and pops it into her mouth. She might take a bath for three consecutive days, then she might not take a bath for a month. She starts fussing saying someone stole a tattered removable collar. Yet she completely forgets about the stock certificates she hid under her bedding. Auntie is falling to pieces. But inside her is another Auntie. She is like the nesting wooden mosaic box she bought me when I was a kid. I found a box inside the box, and I found another as I opened it, and yet another smaller box inside that . . . Auntie exposes what she has been hiding one after another, but unlike a box, she never becomes empty. It is silly to ask which the real Auntie is. Contradictions and confusions are Auntie herself. But I sometimes find such an excessively honest Auntie terribly hateful. Because it's me that she exposes.
*
I'm ready for them to come for me anytime, Auntie says. But I cannot die until they come for me, she says. She cannot take care of herself, so she wants to take care of others all the more. You can just leave me alone, she says. I cannot bring myself to tell her that she has no use for pride of that sort. Because I am barely managing to be me just by being in front of her.
*
This world is a square of crazy quilt. Motley colors and cloths are connected in an illogical way, yet the four edges are cut beautifully straight. On the Northern American continent one hundred years ago there must have been aunties very much like Auntie, by a big river, in the shadows of a beech tree, and on the porch of a shack on the fringes of a city.
*
Someday I will become Auntie. I wonder if I am already. My name, my money, my future, or something else of me, none of those can keep me from being Auntie. My hands, my hair, my words, my wandering mind, all I can call my own are so much like Auntie's.
*
Stroking its belly, Auntie is whispering to the dog. Auntie is really happy to see the dog pleased. I cannot keep my eyes off her, wondering if Auntie will keep stroking the dog forever. But soon she slowly stands up, and goes inside. I am left with a feeling that almost chokes me. I simply cannot name it.
