our grandmothers

yellow kitchen filling
the small pocket of a memory

borrowed from a friend 6 hours ahead
but abiding in my present

space untouched
coffee pot undisturbed

sunlight hitting the same spot
as this time last year

empty
without but with

the bus took me north of my 
usual hemisphere

the need was too strong
to hear a well-known whistle

to sit in a white kitchen
and see the yellow morning sun

stream through familiar windows
full
