Replying to a comment on:

Flood Land, East Kentucky (Free verse) by zodiac

Beneath the house, old bottles that the river brung, white horse's skull, some Yankee coins, a rusty bike. When Noah cut his hand on it I lay with him, my darling boy, in his room with the junk he'd found: the glass was medicine, the coins were for his eyes, all this from in the house, but it was not of us.

nice use of hexameter. almost because of the old greek form, i'd look for this to be one of a series. i like the assertion of dialect straight from the first line. i can picture the scene.
