Momma’s Stories



My childhood was filled with stories
my momma told
those from the gospel
mixed with the tales 

from her childhood

mysterious and spooky
those fragile veils that separated
reality from fantasy, removed,
with the stories she told.

My waking hours traced

those fragile boundaries
and my dreams late at night
filtered back and forth 
at a veracious rate
mixing truth and imagination


solving daylight problems
with mystical tales
all drawn from the stories
my momma used to tell.
