redhead said her name was Momma Jo you'll need me, I'll run with you clenched his teeth, swallowed the pieces gave her a nod, a nearly grin, "I run alone" Gunslinger saw TinHorn held in death photo of Love, his blood ran mean Love said you was good where it counts redhead bent, took photo, ripped it into when Gunslinger grinned it opened the door they climbed up the stairs toward heaven got down and dirty and wallowed in sin stayed there all day, both wearing spurs in the black of night he came down the stairs redhead watched him with disheveled eyes TinHorn hadn't been moved, Gunslinger spat bent, picked up torn photo, looked at redhead no one watched Gunslinger leaving the slime soon to became as one with the night redhead mouthed an ear-splitting screech He's a Cajun man with plenty of lagniappe* ©December 4, 2011 / Jerry Pat Bolton *lagniappe (lan-yap): something extra ~*~ If they give you lined paper, write sideways. ~*~ [This message has been edited by JerryPat2 (12-04-2011 09:24 PM).] |

Ooops! There you are, JL. The reason I said Lori was the only pone is that the poem has been up since last night. I realize it is much too gritty for most folks, but Gunslinger is a gritty kinda guy. Thanks again, JL for being here. ~*~ If they give you lined paper, write sideways. ~*~ |
