Ray

He was my sidekick.
 
You see,
 
George was my partner.
 
I was just a boy then
 
maybe seven,
 
and that water still floods my mind,
 
every
 
damn
 
day.
 
I reach down
 
pushing my hands outward,
 
the water swims it’s way through my shaking fingertips,
 
and I cradle his tiny wet foot
 
in my massive hands.
 
Forgetting for only a moment,
 
that what I hold
 
is still.
 
It is lifeless.
 
Collapsing to the ground,
 
I watch
 
as that silver laundry tub
 
gulps down my brother.
 
I guess I’ll keep Georgia
 
sweet Georgia
 
on my mind.
