Mawmaw

Walking through an antique mall is like spending time with my grandmother again. 

Smells that I attributed to her, warmth and dust and perfume. Old wood and dried book pages. 

Fake flowers and crystal stemware.

Walking from booth to booth, the air stifled and earthy,

I want to reach out and hold her hand. 

I can hear her laugh. I can see her face. 

I can turn and say hey Mawmaw,

What’s this really worth?

And with a turn of her heels and a twist of her head, she would respond,


I don’t know girl, let’s see what we can make them do.
