trouble & history

[the mingo]

the woman is
the eye of
the milk

hot anything is the whole thing
at this point

i store the business of iron
in my horse and all she
wants to talk about
is food

and that's just on the surface
because the next thing she'll want
is to have a story with butterflies
and bees

the last thing you'll get from her
is any kind of a straight answer
hard work & prayer don't work because
she was the eldest growing up
and she grew up in the hills

she says she's not from here
but make no mistake
she's native from beginning to end
and twice all through her middle

she says she's a one-off
but actually she's quite traditional

trouble & history every step of the way

[dadio]

Insightful & darn good.

[sweetwater]

excellent brevity
composition of great virtue

[SadLuckDame]

We can talk about honey the whole trek up the hills
and you'll trick me about where o where the butterflies will come from. I'll play it shy and then I'll be the one, after that we can eat, maybees steak with mushrooms.

mmm makes me hungry anyhow.

[Steve Plonk]

The strange thing about history is that sometimes, in relationships, we don't see a linear event A causing event B. Sometimes fact is stranger than fiction. Thanks for this poem, Mingo.
