      April 11, 2014He Lives in an Ark and DreamsGabby Dodd-Terrell

      My grandfather’s afraid of fortune and sails the world
      In his handkerchief
      He waves to the bottles in the sea
      And reads their messages
      The trenches are overflowing
      It’s hard to stay positive
      My grandfather’s afraid of the sky
      His red kite rests on a cenotaph
      My grandfather’s afraid of silence
      He cradles the sound of crows
      My grandfather’s afraid
      Of saying goodbye

      from 2014 RYPA
