Zywa
On the balcony at Grandma's
Grandma is bored, she waits
for my wedding and perhaps
she fantasises that I'm getting pregnant
How would it have been
with grandfather and her in bed?
We don't talk about that
just about the afternoons
in the sun, gaining some
colour for the summer
She would have liked that, but
at that time people thought differently
Anyway, bikinis did not yet exist
So much has changed, she reads it
to me from the magazine
and I laugh at her astonishment
She is old, her hair as white
as the walls in this sun, lovely
Lu does not have to come yet
