porch new farmer and new wife Once Evaleen feeding chickens what with supper dishes done and dried all around her in the yard tossed Poetry settle into silence both let be the diamond out of her wedding ring to hear the twilit pond’s full chorus rise so quit wearing the eyeless thing and usher in the summer prodigal even to wash dishes weed the garden with every living creature home at last stuff their Thanksgiving turkey every thing that wintered in the muck which had to bother Charlie or trailed the southern flight now back it wasn’t the money it was awake to sing however loud and long what-all the shiny thing meant its overture to interrupted life as near eternal as they’d likely get now Charlie lays a finger to her wrist so for several years killing a hen and in the dark her blind hand catches his for dinner once or twice a week like the final bird of daylight strong but sure it has no business out this late out behind the barn he’d cut about to settle for a quiet place to rest the craw from the gizzard dig the gravel there spread it out that both agree and in that subtle touch without another gesture trundle off on a piece of white paper he kept to bed beyond the night still tuning up folded around his reading specs its purple bruise just fading in the west down the front of his overalls still breathless in the dark not cooling yet till one night that sparkler bright as ever turned up there it was inside a life since the evening she’d lost it where Who the Hairdo is For once the hens were in for the night In bed with her with curlers he’d looked hard with a flashlight the night before the big day for hours on his hands and knees eighth grade graduation for their oldest girl who also knew if it was there he’d a found it but slept in the pink foamy things said you know how quick a hen can be once a thing catches her eye after fidgeting and sighing stirring half the night Paul Hunter Charlie asked her to undo These and twenty-some others grew out of a long poem about shy country peo- all she was holding together ple finding love, a piece called “Luminaries” that first appeared in his third for later for the effect that farming book called “Come the Harvest” (Silverfish Review Press, 2008). she wanted to be perfect said who is the hairdo for anyway Evaleen said okay went to the bathroom and left the door wide so he could watch while she unwound each lock of hair shook and combed it out for the shine bounce and flair for him not some old PTA 4 ArtAccess.com © July • August 2019 ArtAccess.com © July • August 2019 5 artist Lillian Pitt with her
