Apple Montage
Sleeping around
with Cousin Jenny,
smoking menthol
beyond the shits.
Late summer probation 1973
in the backwoods of Tennessee.
To the right
behind the barn
were dead trees.
There were several
of those trees
and other trees
behind them
beyond a field
and above them, other trees.
Later, I stood near
as a crowd
watched Pops and my Uncle
cooking apple butter;
stirring the brown skunks,
boiling in a huge black kettle.
I saw my father
secretly piss
a wine bottle
on my Uncle Clarence.
I went from
breathing old mist
out back behind the barn,
to breathing
the hot misty team.
The air smelled of crap fumes
and strong booze.
