And when there are no more words
we can listen to the silence,
we can listen to the broken
shadow of the moon.

My grandmother from the Old Country
would never understand
the things I allow in my house--
a black cat napping on the kitchen table,
work without an apron,
rain falling under an open umbrella,
the strangeness surrounding
each family member
finally returning home.
