handle homestead where Great Aunt
Evelyn's final resting hands
and family will gather in familiar
Oklahoma air to sit in straight back chairs
to eat and honor in their Sunday go to church
meeting clothes that drape us all in crossing over
Sounding one last dinner bell to Heaven
wintery rain soft on the tin roof that hears
the generations with petals in their hands
corn husk gold with grape juice for communion.
