One glass of champagne
In a stove corner
Drying out unplanned images
Pinching between thumb and forefinger
Before any value likely drops

Staggering about the yard
Winter mends the fence
Like a childhood memory
Thin wedding gown sobbing
Passing away corn rows

I believe banks of the deep
Hide behind sheens of light
While armed riders wound the earth
Where ugly things collect in the eyes
Pricking wrists…drawing blood

Senseless shadows cast their ballots
Gun metal signs, send pictures to go
Dismal, nightmares spit dark secrets
While a preacher builds condos in rows
All painted white
Balance enters town

One glass of champagne
Colors even consciousness
Sporting morning through the trees to the right

"While armed riders wound the earth
