Excerpt from "Potluck at the Wilmot Flat Baptist Church" by Jane Kenyon

On the way home we pass the white clapboard faces of the

library and town hall, luminous in the moonlight, and I

remember the first time I ever voted–in a township hall

in Michigan.


That same wonderful smell of coffee was in the air, and I 

found myself among people trying to live ordered lives....

And again I am struck with love for the Republic.
