"My grandmother loved bougainvillea" she said
apropos of nothing
as she looked out the window
at the late Spring garden
But I knew a storm was coming
that would destroy the remaining purple blooms
making them slick on the garden path
sticking to my shoes
like onion skins
But she was lost in her reverie
I murmured assent
and drank my tea.
