le jeunesse means young, the youth, a pretty girl
on a vaudeville stage all skinny legs and
cloche hat and a signature to my darling charles, your frances
my great-grandmother by adoption, re-marriage,
untimely death kept us from each other
but i know they called you franny and
you ran away to be a dancer before you could vote,
before we were even allowed to. you kept your
maiden name and now we share it like rebellious french sisters.
your astrid le jeunesse
