She caught me watching her,
with the same ease a coyote
who is wary of traps
avoids stepping into one,
As she worked on
George’s old Dodge.

Just sitting,
the cold beer can
wet in my hand,
Wondering if she was
Going to want
To go dancing
Tonight.

She crawled out
From under the front
Of that old Dodge
Where she had been
Laying for sometime,
I watched
Her hips wiggle
As she scooted free

Wiping the grease
Off her wrench
She walked towards me
And took my beer.

“Thirsty?”
I asked

she took a deep
swallow,
“Not now”
She said.

Then looking at me
With eyes
That would melt
2 inch steel plate

She asked,
“You ever Learn to Dance?”

I can feel the desire in what you write. My compliments on a job well done.

Have you ever learned to dance?

Southern Gothic is reborn?
Does Flannery O'Connor's estate know?

Damn, Ron...
