Grandfather Died - mauriceling/mauriceling.github.io GitHub Wiki

The day Grandpa died
I was fourteen
On an October Tuesday I believe
Called solemnly to office I conceive
Gently told by Ms Tan
Fetched to Sims Drive
All were at void deck
Grandma inconsolable
Nights of chill
Melvin’s nose weakened

The Sunday before
Breakfast of soup and rice
A bowl of pork soup each
Mum, Melvin and me
Grandpa drove in carpark
First in many years

Day of his last
Ate at food centre with gust
Walking back to home
Sat midway where he built his dome
