raw
green beans
this past afternoon
brought back
my Oma
full white apron on
in the kitchen
one summer
in Germany
decades ago
window wide open
to the garden
sitting at the table
busily breaking them up
together
for her delicious vegetable soup
I'm helping ,I'm helping
I said as they broke
in my little fingers
her soup
a mere memory
as she stopped making it
a lifetime ago

Oma was my German grandmother who I visited every summer growing up in the 70's , no matter where we were stationed ( My Dad was in the military ) we always visited her at least once a year .She died in 1982.
