Prompt #9

They felt the tremor all the way

to the bayou, where folks turned

beet red at the thought of impropriety and even

the elk head in the dining room was embarrassed

by the way you elbowed your way into their lives,

only to kick the bucket without even

a howdy-do, sending another tremor all the way

back to St. Louis.
