Grandma’s cake
Is dotted with blueberries
“Buluberries”
In her Persian accent
Comically endearing
When we gather
It’s all because of her
A testament to
Generational adaptation
Devastating relationships
Continental crossings
The tug and pull of translating and language learning
A woman is tired
She sits with the defeat of accomplishment
She’s done well
But I’m not satisfied
She asks when I’m having kids
I ask her for three more years
They deserve buluberry cake
