Offsite Post: ‘Family in the Future Tense’

The first cold morning of fall in Louisiana

Sends my memory far away to Oklahoma,

To the cavernous den that you added to your house, Uncle Ken.

 

The icy air resting on the rock-strewn hills outside

Bites into the thin skin of mortal flesh, but the hearth inside

Glows with a wood fire, offering its warm benediction.

 . . .

The rest is at https://www.reckonin.com/walt-garlington/family-in-the-future-tense.

Holy Ælfred the Great, King of England, South Patron, pray for us sinners at the Souð, unworthy though we are!

Anathema to the Union!
