Purple

Contributor: J. "Ash" Gamble

Lucille was my purple queen,
with short hair.

Always thought I would prefer
long hair, but her curls made it
worthwhile.

She loved purple and the sounds
of Southern literature and whiskey
sours.

She moved purple, regal purple,
and taught me how to believe in
the sound of my own voice.
