for the hymns, the huckleberries, and the grit

Why write? To capture the holiness of hymns, the sweetness of huckleberries, and well, the grit.

Above my brother Carl is pictured, perhaps getting his very first taste of huckleberries.

About Me

sara
After five years of living in Mozambiuqe, 2 years in Viriginia, 16 months in Kansas, two summers in Florida, and six months in Philadelphia (not in chronilogical order), I've returned to the state of my birth, the town of my childhood--Wolford, ND. I currently do not have active tuberculosis, I'm fighting to keep my hands un-chapped, and I am wondering when I'll get married.

Something in the pocket
Of your puffy red jacket
Jumps and jitters
And makes a big racket.

I’m sure it glitters
And I see a spark.
Sometimes it takes wing
Flying into the park.

It has a birthday today
That exciting little thing,
A poem in itself
That makes me want to sing.

I'm not much of a poet, but I want to say to Lena Grace, happy birthday! You're a glittery, sparkly, poem in yourself!
