a poem a day? or maybe one a week? we'll see...

Georgia, the whole day through

The red ant hills make
my yard a war zone...little
mines.

And the Georgia heat looms,
curling under my
armpits

sweat dripping from my
crotch

and I have the Big Dipper
and Orion (who can remember the other ones?)
bitten into my legs.

These seem like nothing
now that I know
about the scorpions.
