Call from Granny, a poem by Irene Watson

piano notes poise
we careen with eager breath
profuse indeed to humble
lift the clutched tincture
the illumine of her inflection
crystals a refraction
as aged warmth embraces
“What are you baking today?” she asks of us
a lingering sentiment clasps
of glazed marine oil
of cello bow hold
“Well, you just have to keep going,”
and as the wash brushes over
a parting of ways of some distance
still hears the voice of the lost playing on
as it swings of moderation, of resilience
of a community of gin-infused
card-dealing blether
