On The Other Side
Where the dead does not tread, they can only hide, In shadows, in darkness, shying away from mortal cries. Abandoned halls, corridors twisting and windows busted, A lone shadow stalks the passages between light and dark, They are there, there in shadows, gone when the sun rises. They are broken things, their forms all thin and twisted.

Housekeeping
Reading glasses swinging back and forth, dangling from a drug store string slung around my neck I said, to myself of course, I never want to wear this kind of thing. But now I do, sometimes. I like the idea of relaxing, being a comfortable woman of the home, swinging open the door in a batik housedress, casually welcoming someone in, pets or as the French say, animals for company, something like that. As if pets had no other reason to be. Years of watching women folding, unfolding, refolding socks, sheets, dinner napkins, a lot happens in those moments of freshly laundered piles heaped onto the sofa, better the dining room table as long as it’s clean of course. My grandparents hung it all out in the sun, flopping away without a care, ironing sheets was necessary. When my paternal grandmother died, the very night she passed over the clothesline, into the black heavens sprinkled with sequins of silver, she came to me in a dream. I stood at a table folding clothes, I became aware that there was someone next to me folding as well. I first recognized her hands, red and wrinklie, with age spots. “Nanny?” I didn’t look toward her; she said in her most comforting southern way, “Don’t be afraid.” Then I turned toward the left looking up, up, up, and there she was all in white, a long crisp gown, fresh and smiling. “I love you.” She’d spoke. Then she was gone.

The moon, a silent muse Whose melodies whisper through the night A celestial lullaby Enchanting all who hear its song

Later, she would remember that minute in bursts: as though she were standing behind a bright light that flashed between scenes, flickering oddly with colors that were too bright before her eyes:
