McCalls
They were my ancestors....

they lived among these hills
in a house small and grey-weathered
sturdy buckets fetched water
Big Creek flowed on past

purple hull peas and sweet potatoes
kitchen full of warm scents
long gone by
chipped plates with pink roses
thump of mud-caked boots
sweet tea on a muggy night


they lived among these hills
laughed and cried and dreamed

i never met them
yet their blood flows in me today
