Pamela gaye walker

I feel my meet for bruises. My jaw is tender, not broken. I pick myself off the floor and listen to the back door lock, then the uneven steps of my pop as he enters the dwelling. Fa foom, fa foom, his post-stroke gait edges him closer to his chair. I can almost see his afternoon ritual: off with his fedora and rumpled suit coat, he drapes the coat over the Duncan Phyfe dining chair, part of a place that makes Mom proud.

Pop wakes daily at 4 a.m. to read his Bible in his Barcalounger, so he’s tired when he gets home from work. Mom will be home soon and hang his outerwear in the closet. My twenty-one-year-old brother, Rip,is probably hiding out with someone from his gang, The Gaylords.

I’d waste breath telling Pop what happened. He’d light a Pall Mall cigarette and encase himself in a circle of smoke, a barrier to my reality. He loved all five of us kids but had concerns of his own. Pop’s stroke paralyzed his left side when he was thirty-seven. This misfortune happened when Reggie was ten, Digby, eight, and Ripley Jr.—who we called Rip— was six. That’s when things started to go off the rails. Tally, my twin, and I were three.

Pop, dashingly handsome and oozing oodles of charm,
