Beyond us
the voice called out
their names, Windy Whisper,
Tali Sue, Iron boy
Coaltown running and running,
the people gathered at the tent
for one quarter to hear
blinking across the lighted board
golden horses
running
to
victory.
Shirley Williams
MISS ABINETHA
MammaNe-
even
if
I never speak
her name no more I
form it in my heart
and grieve for her in
places she was the
only one to know.
