A Mississippi of the Blood
A M-I-S-S
I-S-S
I ate too much tomatoes
Bought a new house and moved everything
Stubbed my toe
Contracted a contractor to fix the things I couldn’t fix
(Then I shocked myself wiring the diningroom chandelier–
Added a new item to the list)
But I thought about you and I missed you
I dreamt that you bought an RV and you and the bird
Travelled the 4 corners of the country giving poetry readings
The people adored you
(Almost as much as I did)
They lit an American flag in your honor
I burnt my finger lighting a fire in the fire-place
I was surfing around looking for blogs on RV mattresses and funny enough…your site got picked up in the google search results. I didn’t think I would be reading poetry! Your actually pretty talented.
