das hummel



as i held my grandmother hand she yelled my name and repetedly said breathlessly  on her last breath i love you  she felt warm  as i hold her i grabbed the blanket and  placed it in herfingers on her dying body i kissed her right cheek and she slowlly fadeding away  she brought on with fever and until the end the last of my kind  has passed away  i am now the only dragonfly left .

                             in memory of my grandma
                                           leona draeger
