Sultry summer night
Pontiac Fire Chief
red, black, no a/c
3 am, 2 lane road
smell of air windows bare
uncle Gene, aunt Lurline
first trip to Daddy Griff
bird dog curled front floorboard
arrive to coffee, four blooming
homemade biscuits fresh from a roll
in THAT wooden bowl
Journey IS the memory
won’t let itself just fade
Memory Benign
