I want to go visit my grandma
I want to sit and have coffee with her, and hear all her stories and all the gossip.
She’d tell me to drive safe and that she prayed for all the animals to stay off of the road and oh Ellie I forgot, I made you some stuffed frybread for your lunches
I want to go home.
I want to find my mom waiting for me in her room, with my baby brother sleeping behind her.
I want to follow her into the kitchen and let her tell me how to cook.
I want to hear the annoyance in her voice, and the laughter
I want to hear my mom call me kali.
