Up the holler


 Up the holler


There was the time when

the differences in worship 

were pretty easy to define 

A Sunday ride up the holler

We’d find the structures along

the narrow winding road

Culminating with the Methodists

high above the Primitives

by the trickling coal strewn creek

and in between the Presbyterian 

and the baptist with a Pentecostal 

for good measure 

there weren’t any mega structures

obscuring the Mountain View

no third Baptist’s from the latest split

few of the latter day or Jehovah such

or the Saturday sabbath two or three

Pretty much what was along the way

was all we needed in the day.
