The Radio Is Playing Ray Charles
by Susan Jackson
Georgia, Georgia the whole day through…
just an old sweet song…
I’m leaning into you
in the smoke and the slow dancing
those low notes
working their way up my spine
stirring up the night
throaty voices in the corner singing along
our hips touching
like moonlight through the pines
moonlight like a folded handkerchief
slanting through the window that night
Georgia, Georgia just a sweet and simple song…
and our whole life laying out like a road
still ahead of us.
