no granny-flat (Jeltje Fanoy #12)

she talks

in Greek,

to her cat

 

and hello! and

how are you?

and here, to stay 

 

lovely Helena

will start cutting

her flowers, her

most beautiful roses

in view, for you,

if you say, yet again,

and, yes, once too often,

that you so admire them

 

th cold and th pain,

and lots of sun

and warm weather

to share, we’re

growing old, together

 

workers,

on a break

at her gate
