Call and Response
Ellen Anne and Ella May,
their mother would call
in the same tired breath,
pointing to Patience or Hope
or Faith or Trials or Troubles,
who had drenched their diapers
or cried with hunger
or burned with fever.
Ellen Anne and Ella May,
as if they were one body
to do the bidding
to gather the eggs
to scrounge the flour
to beg the milk
to feed them all.
Nothing could be further from the truth,
Ellen Anne thought as she once more
ran after Ella May, who had once more
strayed in an enthralling search of
God Knows What.
