GREAT-GRANDMOTHER, I KNEW YOU NOT

Great-Grandmother, I’ve been told
you were like a
sweet tomato and
fiery pepper
when you were young.

Tell me about those days.

In my mind’s eye you were
the quiet, demure, petite
being you are today.

Do you have stories to tell?
Or am I too young to hear the
spicy, seedy side of your life?
