Tennessee waltz

She had moonpie eyes

and a wildcat smile,

draped by slow

smooth sip of whiskey

hair, the color of corn

in the wispy July air

 

And she wore purple

and white Irises speckled

with yellow as her dress,

flowing in the tall grass

beneath a willow sky

 

Her feet embraced

the earth between her toes,

as she twirled a whirl

of moonlight, shadowing

the daytime's blazing sun

 

And like a cradle rocking,

held me

like I was newborn
