dried snapdragons
dragons snapping
teeth all gone
Hendrix rappin’?
brain is broken
not to mention homey hearts
who died here
under flying salmon tossed across
a storefront
or journeyed into the land of Nod
snoring
too soon
a backyard raspberry bush
is parted
juicy swollen red
lush with porchlights
peekin’ through blouses too tight
“all you need is love”
John gone, too
soon soon soon
put some Cobain down in there
Quincy and Ray just pass on by
Genesee Hill
where I was borne
mourns
heterodox doxology
sung in 6/8 3/4 5/5 time
