30 Days Of Jaye: My NOLA

~ Jennifer Bush-Harris

This piece is 1 of 2. I so love this city. -JBHarris

Hurricanes on Bourbon

Found by a Tropical Isle

Seventy degrees in December

Nights with sore feet in stilettos

Hangovers with the Waffle House

Cypress groves with orange-red light

Dusty bed and breakfast stairs

Near the Cities of the Dead

Footfalls on St. Louis Cathedral

Vows on Jackson Square, near the Canon

Wishes tossed along Lake Ponchatrain

Pouring my passions to the Gulf

To gather jagged pieces of me to skin

Over muddied waters of times before,

Washing myself these

Earthen-waters, Being home again once more

-Jennifer Bush (now Harris) March 2011-personal canon/English 3030 class

I am female, fiery and unapologetically Black. I'm in no position to mince words, so I don't. This writing, this craft, is what I delve in, drown in, and seek to master. From that mastering, comes portions of the divine through light and screen or ink and paper. I invite you all on this journey of thought, conversations and other benevolence life has to offer. You can also follow me on Twitter (@authorjbharris) and my networking page on Facebook (Jennifer P. Harris). Thank you for stopping by and remember to live, love, write and repeat.
