RUSTIC PLACES IN MY MIND

an image
a flash
my mind recalls
the smell of straw
the swoosh of swallows
the specks of dust
dancing in sunbeams
and the tiniest of mews
coming from places
hidden deep within
all accompanied by
the ever present
crooning of the likes of
Conway Twitty
and Tammy Wynette
on the old transistor
Dad never turned off
