Conroe

I am off
The clock
And onto lake
Time living by a
Big lake, only way
To keep wearing my
Short pants in East Texas.
This area is where Elisabet
Ney and Dr. Montgomery fled
From Bismarck’s German Empire
In search of a more democratic
Free-thinking country when
They settled at Liendo
Plantation next door
To Hempstead in
East Texas in
The pines
Where I
Can
Needle
My sisters
With sticky
Resin pinecone
Sachets and wreaths
From Lake Conroe woods.
Above my condo door on
A small piece of pine
Wood, Presidio
Soledad.
Super,
Huh?
