Matt Dennison

Southern Pastoral

“I didn't know you could
kill a Nandina bush,” she flowered with
delicate wonder, leaning forward as if,
in another world, another time, to touch.
“Ever been drunk with murder in your heart
and a hatchet in your hand, Dear Lady?
Dear Lady, I killed her for you.”

“That weird-as-hell cool-squish tingle you get
inside the balls of your feet just beneath your
toes when you squeeze 'em together real tight
under the blankets on a cold winter night?
Yeah, I'll miss that when I'm dead and gone.
'Bout it, though. Okay. Love you too. Bye-bye.”
