Carolina

south Carolina

what a woman you would be if you could be
but you only drift across my memory
that place i honeymooned
along and about your myrtle beach
and then it washed away with storm
and storm again until i lost perspective

until one day i met a woman
and i, a boy in love with a creature
i had never known
fell deeper into the manifest of manhood
more than before
more than i had ever known
or would ever know again

she was from south Carolina
