Summer in Midland [Original poetry]

Title: Summer in Midland
Rating: 0+
Length: 10 lines
Other: I still always put my Coke in a glass first.
This one is a companion to "The lies I took to heart". They were originally just one poem, but I decided they were better if separated.



Summer in Nacmine

I remember the scent
of stirred earth in the garden

the taste of crabapples
and carrots

cold coke fizzing in a glass
a thick accent telling me

"Always pour it
my dear -

you never know
what might be at the bottom."
