A Mill Creek Truth
A first trek among the Neighbors Stream
Among the Dusk of the last Sunbeam
The truth of Mill Creek is not its end but the
Crawfish Team
Dangle one's Feet in the crisp cool waters and
watch the Spring Season Vapor of Steam
Peer at the Flutter of the Crustaceans while
they avoid the perils of Fate
But beware of the Bite of the Crawdad as the
Truth lies in the hooking of...
the Bait
George E Kostakis
