My grandfather’s voice reminds me of jelly donuts

Powered ones that come in a white box tied with red and white string

He always had them for me when I visited

It reminds me of how his voice echoed a bit

In that old kitchen in that old yellow house

The brown linoleum floor

My grandmother’s walker rolling over soft carpet, then tile

His soft cashmere sweaters against my face when I hugged him

He’d kiss my cheek too wet, with crumbs on his lips

 I should write him a letter
