a long marriage
ending by her husband's heart failure.
she speaks of the boat.
the small one,
then the large one.
now sold.
grand children come up in
the conversation
quite easily.
the ages, the names, where they
live, the instruments
they play.
there's a crayon portrait
on the fridge from one.
she tells me how beautiful
her marriage was.
how they met, how they lived,
and loved
one another. she tells me
where they traveled.
i want to go back to Italy
she says, perhaps a cruise
with someone new.
maybe it's you.
do you know where Broome
Island is?
what sign are you?
