"Old Hulley" / by Marsha L. VonderBrink
By marsha •
Old hulley
on winter morning
with boy directing
worthy as a man
one wiper
frost thick
memories edged with longing
reaching back into time
to once again hear
old hulley's roar
belch, bump, thump
grinding of the gears
four bald tires, mufflers chorus
carrying us safely over bumpy road
brother, man of the family
courtly
dear
missed so much down through these
long
lonely
years!
Dedicated To: My Brothers,
Freddy & Garland Owens
