My Grandmothers Chest

An ancestor I barely know

Left a chest inside my fibers

Hid the key inside my own secrets

Hummed whispers guide the clues


I’m only allowed one item at a time

One family secret revealed

I pull out a bone dry bottle

She tells me what I know

Keep it empty to survive


We close the chest together

Locks changed for my safety

We’ll meet together again

Once I learn her name
