Howling at the Moon
By Kimberly Willis Holt
From Dancing In Cadillac Light
In the kitchen, Momma lined canning jars on the table while a pot of stewed tomatoes waited on the stove. At the sink, Racine wiped a dish with a cloth as she wiggled to a song on the radio.
Even though I was only ten months older than Racine it might as well have been a hundred, because Racine had a hole in her head as big as Texas. She was one hundred percent female. She had a butt-twisting walk like the teenagers down at the park’s lodge even though she was only ten years old. She wanted dancing lessons more than anything in the world. I believe Racine would have given up Christmas for tap shoes and lessons at Lynette Logan’s Dancing and Baton-Twirling School. I’d rather drive. |
