Listening To Patsy ...


Memories

of Formica

kitchens

And 2-burner

Hotpoint 

stoves

Lipstick on

a menthol

butt

Costume

pearls

in rows

Perfume

from the

five and dime

Drive In’s

on the 

field

A promise

made

a promise kept

And 

love

— that time can’t steal

 

(Listening To Patsy Cline: July 4th, 2025)
