Southern Mud (In Her Blood)

Southern Mud (In Her Blood)

A Poem by Desert Knave
"

a sonnet for a friend

"
It's never
Only
About
The water
It's also
About
The Mud
That runs
Right through her
Southern blood
She can't just
Get wet
She must
Get muddy

It occurred to me this could be about a woman, or it could be about a dog. In the South in particular it could be either.
