Only the poor walk in Memphis
I count the degrees
fifty above sixty
days during winter
relabel them My Spring
I crack the sidewalk
beneath crepe myrtle buds
dry-rubbed ribs smoking
no other soul in sight
I circle the drain
down Tennessee's southwest tip
bless your heart echoes
flushed into Mississip
