Perry S. Nicholas


Yiaprakophela*


I wish I could sustain
an epic poem about grape leaves,
how my mother would sniff the mint
anytime we passed railroad tracks,
order me to stop the car, then climb down
the embankment, pick enough to stuff
full of brown rice and spices.

Too hard to extend her story,
even harder to describe
the ritual of the process.
I can’t, since it’s merely overlapping
small corners of a memory,
rolling them into too short a time
as when she was able to climb at all.




*Yiaprakophela (Greek): grape leaves
