My five years with my Dad    His last five years with me Slipping Cori's wedding ring on her finger    In front of our crowded church Purple t-shirt faded and misshapen by washing    My safety and freedom color Kneading bread with Grandma      Untill the stickiness was gone 1947 edition of John Keats poetry            Broken binding and old book smell Silver dollar minted in 1922            The year my mother was born Singing in church choir                My name sewn into my robe Collection of small ceramic birds From trips and birthdays Waiting in line to vote for Hillary Grandma is smiling

Things the Election Cannot Take From Me
My five years with my Dad    His last five years with me Slipping Cori's wedding ring on her finger    In front of our crowded church Purple t-shirt faded and misshapen by washing    My safety and freedom color Kneading bread with Grandma      Untill the stickiness was gone 1947 edition of John Keats poetry            Broken binding and old book smell Silver dollar minted in 1922            The year my mother was born Singing in church choir                My name sewn into my robe Collection of small ceramic birds From trips and birthdays Waiting in line to vote for Hillary Grandma is smiling
