The Thrill Is Gone

Flesh on my body hurts!  My body is in pain from longing to share intimate moments with a Yankee Nottoway Turtle Blues Man, who once upon a time sang me a song and played a guitar under my window.  That time and that love is gone like the wind.  I’m dancing out The Blues through my creative hands beside Lake Vann.  I’m listening to the ancient Skaru:’re Trading Trails under Hwy 42 East and Hwy 258 North.  I’m brought to Meherrin and Nottoway Tribal land to be a witness to The Penland Experience.  Sweet Baby Jesus give me the resolve to walk out The Real Folks Blues.
