Words on the grave of my youth
by C. E. Laine

I want maw maw's
homemade jelly
on my yellow dress;
summer on my brown legs,
Coca Cola in glass bottles,
the white porch swing,
fireflies in mason jars,
Natchitoches meat pies
from Stella's diner,
lemonade, my small
sticky fingers--

one more perfect
chocolate malt.

Celaine
