Seeing my Grandaughter in The Wizard of Oz



Which is the better heaven
Dorothy thinks: above the rainbow
where the colors are bright
and friendships form among allied
strangers who judge you by a smile,
or the darker earth
of aunties?
.
When I hear the song
I cry, swept into the sky
where bluebirds go
and experienced, with her,
in miracles and death.
.
I live here in Kansas.
The intensity of wishes
stings my heart.
