A poem for my Nana x

Nana G,

I miss you.
I love you & I miss you.
Your cuddles wrapped me in a bubble
—at 6:25am
it popped.

While butterflies mark your presence,
I want your essence
I want your touch
I want your smell
I want to hear you say
“Give ‘em hell!”
followed by;
“Remove that eye makeup you look like a trollop”
See your wink,
feel your gentle wallop of my arm,
It meant so much
to make you laugh & hear your hush.

I’m grateful
for all the times you took care of me,
Nursed my heart
with lines & lulls
& kind cuddles whenever you could.

My Nana G,
The ultimate legend,
One with the stars,
My full moon present.
