HER DAD'S MOM

I run my fingers delicately
through his sparse snowy hair
murmuring a blessing.

He sits there
eyes closed
wondering what,
I wonder.

As I rub
luke warm oil
into his pale
old ,wrinkled skin,

the daughter in me 
fades into an oblivion,
the woman liquifies,
a little girl
becomes her dad's mom.
