"Memories"
Dark conveys elevated snows,
school day awaits in winter gloom.
Mush egression maize meal,
Starched devoured calico sac,
adorn infinitesimal anatomy.
Noon fodder fashioned lard oozing sugar bread.
Night stove stew fling,
steaming condensation against ebony windows.
Water tub lye brush body to bed bunk,
Roy, Gene, Hoppy & Inner Sanctum,
end a day of powerless desire.
Thehouseofruthanne Story.
My older brother saved me from being set to flames when I was 7 years old 1945 when the ties from my feed sac dress fell onto open heater elements causing them to catch fire. Wasn't for the quick reactions of my brother Nicholas! Who knows!. (Can you imagine a 7 year old girl, in this time wearing feed sac dresses with waist ties?)
Story #2
Pennsylvania one of the middle Atlantic States is at the center of the arch formed by the original Thirteen States of the union.
My ancestors settled here. This is where I was born.
Connellsville Pa though holds a memory of climbing mountains,going bare foot,snow and riding horses.
Cold winter mornings my brothers, sister and I would awake to the aroma of bacon frying in the pan, crackling of eggs being dropped with care into hot drippings, Pan cakes & Maple syrup.
This gave us reason to pull our self out of cozy bed's. Quickly we snatched up school clothes kept warm through the night from under our mattress.
Then scurry to the only warm room in our house the kitchen. Clamoring about the wood stove,attempting to dress for the long cold walk to school. When!
"Stomp-stomp-stomp," of snowy boots on frozen porch. Kitchen door swings wide, gusty freezing air flooded the warm space. Followed by my father's arms full of fire wood.
He would rub his hand's and say "yesssss-er-reeeeee-bob-it's cold out there.

This is my life and times while in this body on this earth until death do I part, when reincarnation will probably bring me back for another turn in Hell because I am not a saint. Maybe if I have the capacity to do the right thing and stay out of trouble then and only then maybe I will be reborn to another place a special place for all eternity never to experience hell again.
