First sentence: On the front porch, the men-folk sit in chairs stolen from Sunday's table; take smokes from pockets of white shirts, stained with other summer Sundays, or funerals, which came before; tap brown velvet from cloth pouches, held open by one red string, into papers cupped in callused fingers; spit mahogany streams of Red Oak Twist into empty cans, or out beyond the shaded sanctuary, into the unmown buckhorns.
