Browns Summit. N.C. Poem by jackilton peachum

Browns Summit. N.C.



Browns Summit, N.C.

An old man of ample girth-
alone outdoors in March wind,
he holds to hat and cane, makes for chimney-end

--a lawn dappled by weak cold sunshine--
daffodils line his path, flowers white and yellow,
forsythia gold against green leaf--

his destination: a chair in a warm chimney-corner,
a place where wind won't intrude,
where one can dream and remember other springs.
