Local Symbolism The Brown Family Quartet gyrated boomed and nasalized “When the Roll Is -Called Up Yonder, I’ll Be There.” The tall Robert Hall clothed father and the young son drawing out the n B-eeee Theeeeeeere while the wife and daughter jived the melody forcing their pitch higher and higher as the words came faster, their mouths open ing wide like fantails,. great stupid sincere fish mouths throwing words of hope to the audience, demanding attention, forcing recollections of improbable heavens, bodies and live, hate and violence, fear and the jungle. Promising, pleading, almost believing I’ll be there. The dust from the passing Buicks, Pontiacs Studebakers,. ,Chevrolets, Fords chro me tipped and shined settled on the middle-aged audience in,: side the tabernacle that sweltering Homecoming Sunday. The cars parading, first filled with boys. only, boys combing their hair, telling their jokes, “and the baby was born with straw hat and rubber boots,” and finally the girls breaking away to join the boys. Charles had escaped from the car, escaped from the nylon covered upholstery, escaped to his dead cousin Robbie Lee as he stood at the side of the tabernacle and looked at the stage. where the Browns stood. The pink casket had rested there four years before, the summer before he had left for college. He had been a pallbearer, and from the black hearse through the perspiring country people and silent relatives he had helped carry the cotfin up the aisle with the floor pock marked with doodle bugs waiting, past the benches to the aluminum legged velvet draped stand, and heard the songs of death and rebirth of pearly gates and golden -streets of ageless rocks and jordan crossings and afterwards the casket lid opened and the cheesecloth veil draped to keep the flies away but a gnat got in and would almost land on the white chin but never on the smiling lips or blue veined eyes or the blonde hair with the dark strand just in front and the peo, ple passing didn’t seem to see and went by unseeing and walked -away and left the insect to fly and ahnost land but never and -the piano played softly the folds of satin in the casket are almost hiding the left side with the three ribs always missing the short leg and the. sole of that shoe always worn-because of the liMp but does she have on shoes now maybe they are new and not worn or the feet in the silk satin under the silk satin on the mattress of the casket not in shoes at all just in blue socks to match the dress they are almost gone nowand the choir is almost ready to go see now but i cant go.,closer cant go by cant see the flying gnat life inside death is an illusion the gnat will ‘die in one day or maybe two after the ground closes in and only death then not life then only death then dont they know it dont they know even if the gnat lays eggs the larvae cant live the chorus ,is gone now p and we must get u -and walk now and look before we carry the coffin out but i never knew what she wanted or what she felt or why i felt love and compassion for her or why she asked for the ice at the hospital. Bring me a glass of ice please the nurse took a piece of it from” between her teeth when she was dead she didnt ever say anything more or ask for anything more but she wantedsoMething more than the isolation she had books and me lost as she but i will not look i will not if i close my eyes and take three steps i will not see but the gnat was still there it was still there And “I’ll be there” echoed into his consciousness, and he knew again,. as he had known in the past, that. Robbie Lee was dead forever. G.H.
