Granny
Delusion keeps me going
It pays the rent in my mind
Grandmas live forever
And I’ll battle the beast of time
I’ll battle it all
Anything for her
Memories give me breath
To endure
Where is the healing I ask for?
Where is the physician’s skill?
Point me to that hill to climb
Show me that crucial door
That opens to the everlasting
The one with the fountain of youth
I’ll use my hands if I must
To bring that water through
Enough to wash her golden hands
And sip the dream of life
To strip away the fear and strife Stalling inevitable tears
