chrisoula's top floor

from chrisoula's top floor
i see to the mountain's top
to the olive grove rows
across tiled rooftops
to the fields of sheep
across a misted sky
to orange dots crowding
backyard trees

blues and greens blend
into a wintery mix
feeding the worked soil
underfoot i feel the
shaken olive fruit
i hear a dog's call
as a filled truck-bed
bounces along the field road
back home

to grandmother

i hear a lot about grandmothers' hands
when i ask people to "tell me a food story..."
often we end up in conversation about
Grandmother

grandmother's hands 
moving across tables
brushing cheeks
wiping away tears
offering comfort

yiayia to me
nana, grandma, abuela, nonna to others
offering something to children
that we cannot quite put a finger on
but they hold so clearly in their hands

to lumber upwards

pale legs
in summer's
afternoon sun
look hazy
through the pipe's
water logged
glass design

the dew on
morning reeds
offer solace
from thick
honey southern
pregnant
air
just like the cover 
of kentucky clouds
that swell
in the
sky

the clover is crushed
by big rubber tires
rolling over
the moistened hillside
to lumber upwards
isn't so easy 
for many
it's actually quite difficult
for most
