Summertime supper


We had the best roasted corn I’ve ever eaten at Brother Johan’s birthday on Saturday night.  Here is a poem inspired by that night (written the next morning 8/14/11..)

“Summertime supper”
Beneath papery husks and silky hairs
buttery sweetness
squirts.
Sticking between teeth
Smoked peppered kernels leave a cob
naked.

P.S.  That pesky poison ivy rash on my arms is just about gone now -- Amen!
