    Tradition of Oral History

    There is a story my sister tells
    on some restless summer nights
    when she has come to visit
    and the children have been put to bed

    and she and I have remained—
    slouched on the porch, staring out
    over the cow pasture, sliding off
    into that hour of night when the air

    has that creamy smell of cedars
    and all the years we have spent
    watching them surge up and out
    into this unusual world. Like all legends,
    Dive deeper…
