Hie girl, la Linda Grusent

Hie girl,, la Linda Grusent

fiction
edward w pritchard

So long, ago
I found La Linda Grusent walking
through deep snow drifts
in the storm of the century.
Refusing assistance
la Linda marching, marching
toiled on towards Richland University.
Intrigued I chased,
fatigued she fell,
inspired I listened,
in private she dreamed.
Snows melt,
girls hie,
centuries tarry,
assistance alienates.
Watch for snow.
