Poem of November
Limbo
Fishermen at Ballyshannon
Netted an infant last night
Along with the salmon.
An illegitimate spawning,
A small one thrown back
To the waters. But I'm sure
As she stood in the shallows
Ducking him tenderly
Till the frozen knobs of her wrists
Were dead as the gravel,
He was a minnow with hooks
Tearing her open.
She waded in under
The sign of the cross.
He was hauled in with the fish.
Now limbo will be
A cold glitter of souls
Through some far briny zone.
Even Christ's palms, unhealed,
Smart and cannot fish there.

OH Becky. :D What about being a Black person would you like most, do you think? :3 The awesome Black vocals?
That and I could talk gangsta (little white girls can't talk gangsta) and it would be so awesome! Don't you think? I'm going to randomly do these "I wish"! Haha oh okay...
I never told you this.. but I have always wished that I was black. Seriously. Always. I'm glad you feel the same :)
I have always wished that I was me. It's not much to ask for, but I got my wish to come true.
:P
Whitey
You are so funny Becky. I just was talking to a lady today (she's white and adopted 3 little kids who are black). She told me her little girl asked her if she ever got tired of being the only white person in their family (her husband is black too) and she said sometimes she wished she were white so her mom wouldn't be lonely. How come you want to be black?? You make me laugh.
