For Kim’s Quadrille prompt over at dVerse. The prompted word is “earth”. The song was one of my Aunt Pearl’s favorites and she taught me how to sing and play it on the guitar when I was 11. Two versions: Aunt Pearl’s favorite by Mr. Hopkins and my favorite by Fats Domino
Aunt Pearl
My Great-Aunt Pearl was an earthy woman.
Lush, sensual, nurturing.
She used to play blues on the guitar and sing,
her voice roughened from cigarettes
And scotch.
She taught me to play the guitar.
Black curly hair and sapphire eyes.
A truly beautiful soul.
