bluegrass letter

"how mountain girls can love"

weeding the garlic this afternoon
i snapped a leaf in my fingers
pungent thoughts rushed to my head

"i must journey all alone"

my body is sitting in my favorite jeans,
polka dotted underwear and pink lacy bra
and it could have worked harder today

"it's relentless and I'm defenseless"

i was the rain in the garden today
I tried to be more than just the barest
of essentials - tried to sustain

"lord teach me how to speak"
