Red Dog’s Flying

The rains came again
got Eric and BB blues
pumping out the speakers.
Sippin coffee on the porch
my baby next to me
the rain, she be comin down.

Thinking bout a summer eve
tossing Red Dog empties
from Nevada into California.
Went up from Neon City
to a valley named for sand
best friends ranchin out there.

Seem to remember howling at the mmon
tossing empties into granola land
taunting warrants and wanted.
Must have been a dozen years ago
feels like just the other day
miss our friends more and more.

My brother called last week
his familiar voice laughing, welcome
remembering a younger deed or two.
Tossing empties into California
watching those Red Dogs fly
cool desert night perfect for howling.

The rain, she be with us again
half a world away from our family
new blues curling around our mood.
My baby and I share, sippin coffee
chuckle and tear or two, remembering
once upon... so very far away.



the artist once upon...
        known as "bleeding"
