Maybe it is a symptom of being away from things, places, people that I grew up,
I do not strongly want to get back to those lives already lived,
But today I remembered a place,
An old house, in slight disrepair, childhood home of a prime minister,
Our family – parents, siblings, mother’s brother, and our police people – standing at stone steps to take a group photo,
Grape 🍇 plantation with green grapes,
A lunch lavishly cooked up and eaten without much thought,
But mostly that photo and grape fields.
