I Refuse
you can't go
you can't.
i won't let you.
i refuse to think
about you dying
for it won't happen.
it won't.
you can't die,
because i can't live without
you.
my nonni,
my only great grandmother.
your crazy Italian
showing through the wrinkles.
your strength,
the way you used
to let us put on your makeup
and do your hair.
you can't go.
i can't live without
you.
the way you eat our
veggies for us,
and cheat at board games.
your no nonsense attitude,
and old fashioned ways.
i refuse
to let
you go...
