Lingering and Longing
by Susan Bagley

I'm lingering too long because I do not want to say goodbye.
One more look around, breathing deeply, so as not to cry.

I smell the honeysuckle's heady perfume
and see through the tall pines, the silvery Carolina moon.
As if the years and seasons kaleidoscope before my eyes
Out of pure longing, I fantasize.

The blueberries ripe and kissed with morning's dew
My dad and I picking and eating a few.
Mother in sun bonnet bent over the butterbean row,
My Daddy in overalls weeding the garden with a hoe.

Clean clothes gently swaying on the clothesline
Crisp and dry smelling of sunshine
The trees heavy with peaches and
Frosty scuppernong grapes on the vine.

Gardens of gladiolas and dahlias, impatiens and mums
apples, pumpkins, persimmons and plums.
Rows of tomatoes, okra and corn
a car rounding the dirt road blowing the horn.

I hear the front porch swing with its familiar squeak
and my heart stops beating, I cannot speak.
How can I leave this? Say goodbye?
To Mother and Dad, to home,
Tears fill my eyes.

The smells the colors the tastes the sounds
where else on earth can these be found?
The rusty birdbath, pink Dogwoods in bloom
wind chimes playing springtime tunes?

I look back as I put the car into drive
and it's as if they're not gone, but very alive.
They stand in the carport waving goodbye.
As always as I am leaving, I smile and I cry.
This longing to linger is greater than I.

I turn and they are gone, it was all in my mind
Where the memories will stay with my heart keeping time.
I drive away slowly, hearing crickets and frogs
A little rabbit runs from under a log.
I round the familiar corner
take a deep breath and a sigh
I honk the horn twice
and say my last goodbye.
