Georgia on my mind, a trilogy

Is this a slim margin or a fat one?
Given the odds
Given the rules
Given the broken rules
Given the gerry’s meandering borders.
Is hope built on stilts
or fixed so firm it can’t be pushed over?
Despite that the ground is sometimes mud,
Georgians stand tall.

2-the prequel
She sat at the front desk.
She said hello when folks came to work.
She helped people find their way.
Was she mad that the sun wasn’t out
or was I just projecting?
She was observant.
And she liked to tell people what she saw.
A rainbow.
A rain cloud.
More clouds. Less.
A sunny day!
Her name is Georgia.

3-the sequel
I was expecting a package full of music books.
These books contained songs I had learned
At age 12 or 15 or 20.
Notes. Clefs. Crescendos. Pencil. Pianissimo.
At the mail recovery center,
they call it dead mail.
Maybe the label fell in a puddle.
But the tracking # tells me it’s in Georgia.
My friend mentioned that the water
and the wind know how to read music.
A song for the waves then
that are lapping up the coastline.
