Handsome Ed & Pretty Sue

Handsome Ed and Pretty Sue

 

Handsome Ed.

Pretty Sue.

 

She is young and full

Of a long life of expectations

And promises

And yearnings-

 

Living along a gravel road

At the end - around a semi-bend

 

A wooden house with wide open windows

And a lovely garden with a white picket fence

 

The front room of blue; burning fireplace

She wore garments so fertile

 

And he touched her so - upon her sleeve.
