Old Plot 

My father drives me around his new property,
a tract slicing into the Okefenokee Swamp,
and points out the grotesquely twisted pines,
the spot where a B-29 fireballed to earth in ‘48,
and the nearly toppling house where Seminoles
led by Billy Bowlegs slaughtered an entire family,
and he says, “One day this will be yours.”
