snakey gown throat of long lady sighway
bending remembering around knuckles
handfulls of looking back mountains
and a splinter of maybe creek whiskey

we rocked our maple chairs there on pine
the squeak sound on hollow over secrets
gold dust was a light rain in ought nine
but the mudbugs hid it in their innards

hanging tree still bends in the winter
as if the dying weight gives it anxiety
too many boots it held in suspension
to ever be majestic again except in fire

god was a lady in a cameo with pearls
sometimes with a garter she never removed
for any miner but the mister of me she said
and a few others when they had double eagles

she said heaven only lasted til thirty three

enjoyed the look in Sir.. could hear the chairs on hollow pine, and see the sweet harshness of a heart beneath the sky...

as always, both impressive, and insightful

That's quite the back alley highway
among the Spanish moss, Sir...

I saw a side road where an old woman
said "it could be right" and she
angled an old finger toward her face...

"except," she said, "it could last a
little longer as to an age..."

and then she cackled.



Well done!
