muddy waters

blinking back the bayou
reminiscing river
steamy august heat
dripping wet surprise

cookin ol’ crawfish
big black burnt boiling pot
simmering scent
stayed waters
and fish

wild crazy cajun
dancing delight
animated flame
his perch
the river’s edge
fingers flashing fiddle
accordion swaying
singing sunset skies

took you home
behind the watchful
wrought iron gate
squeaking creaking
waking dog barks
red rooster crows
it’s way past
monologue moon midnight

creating creole music
a few notes ballad
murmuring lights
candles burning bright

catfish crawling
hushed tranquility
easing towards dawn
yawning windows
bantering back
shameless speech
night fever revelry
‘weseanna yearning
