quilt hanging on porch railin’
charcoal man
knows

no shadow hair lady
no mess of
he’ll be back
red poutin’ lip bent to heart
or pink shell toes

gone
only gone
and the vague smell of
anger

some say
her Papa drove his char
right to the porch railin’
carried his doucette home
to her princess shoes

some say
she walked the dusty river road
barefoot again
catfish wrapped around the warm rock
of brogan wearing man
from the boats

it don matter

his lady
left charcoal man a bed gift
congo
wrapped warm
waitin’

c'est tout

I think she was
very angry, Helen.
All ladies understand
that, yes?

Thank you.

WOW!!  Brava!

For it was not into my ear you whispered
But into my heart..
It was not my lips you kissed
But my soul.

You know, she'd never go back to those princess shoes.  I even know that.
