Title: Grandmother Poem Author: Sharon Dean Lee Text: Whispers In the flowering orchards my grandmothers weave hand in hand, white flutter in peach twilight, their memory a gasp of history and rumor. I know their names: Honora, Martha, Winifred, Eliza, Lucy and Jane, Callie, Hiley, Georgeanne and Hattie. I'm here. They're dividing this acre, pulling up trees whose naked roots lie drying in the sun. What happens to them when the orchard too is a ghost? Title: The Families of Burke Co 1755-1855 a Census.
