an unfinished ode to home


Oh, that we were there again,
The old black men on their porches,
The barfooted youthes in the yard,
And old women in their kitchens.
Sometimes it seems we’re only wasting time –
You used to be so nice and all,
What happened to you?
That we were there again!
Back in those hot Delta days,
Back when we were young and daring.
Times were hard, but better then.
You know?
