Mountain mama steers my car; her hand holds mine, forefinger pointing – on a rolling chic print – to reveal her spring mix & match tricks: pink, white, lemon, mint, varying shades of evergreen… Silver lined with trendy wind turbines. All I want then is to be a poet, though what I can say are very unpoetic:
Come to Davis
See the waterfalls
Tour Canaan Valley
Eat a Messy Becky sandwich
at Big Belly Deli
Stop by The Ice Cream Shop
for your sweet tooth
Bring home a mullein plant
– a healing herb
from a writer and artist couple’s
garden
