North Carolina is like...

l
o
n
g dinner table discussions
and
yellow jackets nesting
in my lover's hair.
the wondering
lurking fear
of

potential chance encounter.

meditating
to the sound
of gunfire
while
yellow
butter
flies
chase
dragonflies
mating
and
Jesus watches over
the
shoplifters
and transients
talk about the
recession
while
a dog chases
cattle staring
at a deer.
staring into
the bluest eyes
lakeside and windy
realization:

my mother's temperament
my father's capacity
tiger eye mala beads and
giggling climax at midnight.
