Pumpkin gittin' good an' yallah 

   Mek me open up my eyes; 

Seems lak it's a-lookin' at me 

   Jes' a-la'in' dah sayin' "Pies." 

Tu'key gobbler gwine 'roun' blowin', 

   Gwine 'roun' gibbin' sass an' slack; 

Keep on talkin', Mistah Tu'key, 

   You ain't seed no almanac.

Silver Creamer with Concord Grapes

Oil on Ampersand gessobord, 5 x 7"

Sold

For Arielle and Maura

My daughters’ small 

determined hands 

reach through bramble and 

twisted vine 

to pull whole bunches 

of dusty purple

Concord grapes free 

from the wildness of it.

Itchy arms speckled with tiny cuts, 

squatting 

in chickweed and dandelion with 

dirty faces and shining hair 

to eat wild foraged fruit 

in the summer sun.  

Silver reflects and contains, 

holds and pours, 

remembers.
