my papaw
i know him through gestures guesses the aftermath of breakfast
cleaning plates
ice cold fruit
fishing lines brown water
his mysterious desk and a pen
which drained ink off bathing suits
naked ladies appeared
when you held it upside down
an eagle tattoo on his arm and a closet
too small to hold any decent man’s belongings
jammed full of his
Filed under honky tonk to me that way, yum cupcakes!
