Tell me a Story by Sarah Slater

 

I opened a trunk last night

A floating picture inside.

My grandfather told me a story.

I looked in his eyes and blew him a kiss.

 

Tell me a story of two birds kissing and,

    fall in love.

 

I want you to tell me a story at the beach with a bottle of beer.

Tell me a story grandfather.

 

The picture in the trunk followed me.

 

And tell me of naked ladies singing Maw

 of a dancing dog

Tell me all the stories- make love to me.

Tell me the story with liquor of me and you.

 

Mom-tell me a story.

 

Dad-tell me of two mice kissing.


One day I went to the trunk.

I found a picture of a fruit bowl that you grandpa were holding

Your hand felt cold

Grandpa-what’s it like to be old?

 you and grandma

 I love you

Grandfather, give me the book “What’s love got to do with it”.

Tell me the story of a beautiful place in heaven where you die and   

 fall in love

 

Grandfather-tell me a story of me and you
