my stomach growls
for Kentucky cookin’
church pot lucks of the past
made by old pin curled women
in floral dresses
no longer living
laid out
upon Christian hobbled tables
beneath a giant oak tree
no longer standing
baked beans
macaroni salad
fried chicken
pineapple upside down cake
deviled eggs
damned fine eatin’
and believe you me
no one
can devil an egg
like a Baptist

Hallelujah! Preach it, sister…
Ha!
Hey now! I’ve been told my deviled eggs are downright sinister despite being born Catholic….of course, my mom was a Southern Baptist before converting so…hmmmm.
