This one won honorable mention in February 2008 Arkansas' contest for Arkansas poets Roundtable.


That Long Black Train

Mama called for me

She was riding on that long black train.

She was calling my name--

I recognized her voice from memory.

She's been gone for years.

I loved her then;

I love her still,

And I always will.

Yes, I will even when I join her on that long black train.
