someone did wrap a letter over a stone and they did send it
through sara chickering’s kitchen window.
i have not knowings what the letter said.
daddy would not give readings of the words to me.
he did say a hiss word like steams coming from the teakettle
and make slow shakings of his head.
sara chickering,
when she did read the letter,
she made angry sayings.
when sara chickering does get angry she is
walking
so fast,
like a dog who has needs for squats.
she does go so fast sparks are coming on the braided rug.
daddy did say he would sit at the table and not have sleeps.
sara chickering let me have sleeps in her bed.
daddy did say nobody not anybody not even klan is hurting little girls
and
i can have sleeps with no fearing.
i like
having sleeps with sara chickering
except it does make me
hungry in the hot night
when sara chickering is all
smelling
of spicy green tomatoes.
