Grey Lady

Emma Anderson 2004 (Winnipeg)

Free verse
Saint Hyacinthe,
one day I will be buried at your feet because that is where my mother is.
One day, her soil and mine will enmesh, and we will raise wildflowers just as she raised me.
One day, you will bring us back together, and we will bring you wildflowers.
