Same Mesa Boogie Woogie
The usual: arrows arose on the stem of our rose and we arranged them in
teams or themes or rows of sorrow. A danger in terms of a stranger meat,
like salmon: pink; has eggs, intricate bones. We tried to paint flu but
the results were too painful. Tore them up but knew them by rote, like
a tone stretched over a telephone. I'm not speaking in terms of the rotary
dial; more how to keep a lid on the knot in your throat.
Sower of thorns, show me your secret north, how short it is on painted
screens. Crease this dented crown. Cover me with sores and snow. Let numbness
come all over me, and tell me to snub men's company. The result is a store
of luster.
