Weekend at Pop's
By Ann Chiappetta
"Fried ham, fried ham
Cheese and baloney
Pass the macaroni salad
And we'll have onions pickles and relish
And more fried ham, fried ham, fried ham."
* camp song circa 1970.
family trickles in and out
cool red Berry juice for the kids
Humid air captures and tends the aromas
cooking clouds of sizzling skirt steaks
drift like tantalizing
culinary canaries
enveloping Pop's sweaty face.
Roasted sweet peppers and
barbequed chicken and Kielbasa
Sun drenched or umbrella shady
all day the eating, drinking
Talking and laughing
During Pop's summer BBQ.
meat roasting
Beans bubbling
Hot dog slathered in bright mustard
Chili and kraut
The tang of it
Cements the good times to
Tongues and hearts.
Pour from the jug of homemade red
Or maybe grab a brew.
Tell jokes or throw darts
and when it's over and the coals burn from red to gray
sing the last song before the coming night takes it all away.
