- after Antonio Machado
My childhood is memories of a thicket in Ellijay,
a tilted mountain where rough walnuts tumbled.
There were lady’s slippers flung off from the cardinals.
We became goats running the slope.
But really there was a trash truck always parked
on the side of the street, and puddles in the dirt lot,
and a house with pieces falling off and down the hillside,
a house stepping off into clouds.
