Poem

Home Place

two block sufficiency, that corner

centered in his grass, the red brick house

shaded by the shelter, his great water oak

supported by words spoken soft, their style

nourished from their garden by his love of cooking

sweetened by her pies, apricot and lemon specialties

taught by life lived in sight of a sustaining view

delivered to ourselves in the presence of clear faith

two block sufficiency, that corner
