slum
native persimmon It was like this:
Back door entrance,
early morning sun flecks resting
on wet wood platform,
from inside her shack I see
Yaa's arm bare and barely extend
past the door frame, bowl in hand.
An elegant flick of her wrinkled wrist
and bowl dips into barrel,
fills with rainwater,
arm dissapears
splash on resting flecks
repeat, repeat
