her Liberace glasses

the image
of one grandmother
is of a woman
wearing Liberace
glasses,
with well-manicured nails,
a bubble of
blonde hair
with lipstick on her teeth,
her heavy perfume
fumigating
the air.
standing
in the doorway
with her
suitcase, ready for a two
week visit
with the seven of us.
she was
not prepared.
