A great poem Sage, a true accomplishment to just be who you are and write what you know in your life and soul.

Ours had a bulb at the neck where the cream resided as it rose to the top. With only a paper, sometimes the freeze cause that cream to become ice cream and just out of the bottle about 4 inches for being picked up from the porch.

You're right, I'll never reach the end of that dirt road to your soul. Some woman stole that years ago.

I so love this piece & the title nails it too
you are chiseled in depth and perceptions
she may not have all them helpers anymore though
but I know how to throw down in my kitchen too
how to have fun with butter & cream of the cream
