5:12

Grandpa breathes,

opens his eyes,

but they circle

in his head,

a man

not himself,

looking

through time and space,

trying to find where he is,

 

 

finally settling on Mrs. Li

and Mr. Agbayani, and me.

 

 

We get to our feet,

shuffle through broken

tables, plaster bits,

shattered glass,

purses, cameras

smashed in pieces.
