Tangible


My father’s fourth wife
My brother his wife
My wife
Call my mother a saint

I think they miss the point

She’s a soldier

The kind you would like
To have
In your foxhole

When the other side
Creeps under the wire

In the middle of a starless night

While everyone
Gets drunk
Reads
Listens to music

She guards the fort

  1. this is great, but we all know as well that mom'll knock a few down any chance she gets. then again she's more prudent than some of us. me at least.

    nice tribute to granny jude. nice pic too.
