By Joshua Arnold
In Memory of my Great Grandmother, Doris Jensik.

Emptiness defines space
energy defies matter
my words are empty
next to your soul.

Traces of light
flashes of brilliance
the beauty of your heart
cannot be undone.

A woman of oranges
and snowflakes
you made me smile with
stories of the moon
earthen fingers
and old photographs.

We see now as
a reflection in a mirror
porcelain angels
staring at the sun.

Yaya
May the clouds
sweep you up
bear you onward
and fortify your soul.
