Heirlooms / Hear this, grandma
Frontiers, 1994 by Eisenberg, Susan
She never told us grandmother tales of life in the shtetl the ocean Ellis Island
She spun our gold into skeins of straw washed, dyed sewn by hand into her proudest dress: I was born in New York City
that always itched with its lie woven in perfect English without trace of accent or history.
Hear This, Grandma for B.W. and E.B.
The red-bordered baby blanket handquilted and embroidered for the first grandchild, then passed along with bassinet and snowsuit granddaughter to granddaughter forty years later continues its journey each stitch intact.
The once-little girls who watched a grandmother's hands sew straight lines of tiny stitch after stitch through all their years of growing up cover their babies with the same blanket--three laughing pigs and a house of bricks--that once covered them.
All the great-grandchildren she would have danced on her lap, warmed under one small blanket
threading eight childhoods: a grandmother's blessing.
