sparrows are chewing bark off the rings under your eyes its no wonder you look a little older than you really are I poured antifreeze into the queen size see if I couldn’t stir up some heat between us but you were hung up on the Johnny Cash playing on the Victorola so I whipped up some potatoes and boiled some corn packed my bags and headed for the highest rise in the county the clouds were running like mascara across the face of the jaded sky wheat swooned to the serenades of the seductress wind I crawled up the dirt road and lied out under the shade of an acacia a jug of wine by my side near where she used to lie like a hot poker on evenings when the fire that burned inside of me matched its intensity now, I just listen for the wolves to come crawling out of me plunder the wine and raise an axe to this tree so no memory goes undestroyed no proof to remain of something that died long before the coming of fall [This message has been edited by Drexler_McStyles (04-23-2003 05:09 PM).] |

I found this fine bit of reading, too many pages back. I think another ride on the bullet-train of "open" is required. Good write. ~wranx "The shortest distance between two points is.....sometimes intolerable" |
