MY GRANDMOTHER

She kept an antique shop or it kept her.
Among apostle spoons and bristol glass
The faded skills, the heavy furniture,
She watched her own reflection in the brass
Salvers and silver bowls, as if to prove.

And i remember how i once refused
To go out with her,since i was afraid
It was perhaps a with not to be used
Like antique objects.Though she never said
That she was hurt,i still could feel the guilt
Of that refusal,guessing how she felt.

Later,too frail to keep a shop,she put
All her best things in one narrow room.
The place smelt old of things too long kep shut,
The smell of absences where shadows come
That can't be polished.There was nothing then
To give her own reflection back again.

And when she dued i felt no grief at all,
Only the guilt of what i once refused.
I walked into her room among the tall
Sideboards and cupboards thing she never used
But need and no finger marks were there,
Only the new dust falling through the air.
