Dedications I. raised
a toddler cared for
by a doting grandmother
as if it was her own
II. grounded
a familiar character,
a common language,
experiencing community
III. strayed
drifting from primary tongue,
immersed in american culture,
replacing heritage
IV. frayed
a misunderstanding,
a sarcastic joke
taken seriously.
V. silenced
a disconnect,
a grudge rooted deep,
growing weeds of bitterness
VI. matured
what was planted emerges,
similarities arise
that always existed
VII. goodbye
an embrace in the moonlight,
a mutual comprehension,
an unspoken farewell
