the size of a Buick in a drafty Carolina cabin
that cold rainy Thursday in November
35 years ago. Little boy barely walking,
pregnant with the next and didn't even know it,
thankful for so much but I wouldn't go back
there even if I could. Long dark hair
and tight jeans three or four sizes smaller,
when I was 20 and life was simpler.
