november sunday morning aunt bea’s breakfast table in my little girl slip bare feet swinging to the taste of muscadine jelly on hot biscuit goosebumps crawling my arms uncle lyman pours black coffee in saucer blows slips it to my mouth when she's not looking hand each side my head she pulls my hair back looks like you slept with the chickens last night girl what we gonna do with this mess? november sunday morning no sun to speak of I feel warm wrapped in the sound of the chuch choir singing on jordan’s stormy banks I stand and cast a wishful eye two hours in the future ___________ Tina took me home or as we say in the south "carried me home" with her catfish this morning /pip/Forum96/HTML/001976.html |

This is so sweet. My granny poured her coffee into a saucer & sipped it. And how I had forgotten sitting at the table in my white cotton slip. Thanks so much for this. |
