Southern Accents in the fall of my childhood leaves gathered on the ground from a gray shed by the dog pen rakes and bushel baskets appeared cinnamon apple rolled from windows as sauce, butter and cider slowly churned from a busy kitchen ponytailed brown sweatered keds softly rustled in leaf mountains little by little rows were formed on asphalt to be adult lit watched air thick with oak and pecan smoke pours even now through my memories I write it so I won’t forget "no darkness has ever been deep enough to extinguish my personal knowledge of love" Anne Rice |

because I wanted more... and I know you know about the "lovebug" phenomenon too!  (We just got through that season here.) Love you twice!  |
