Antebellum

She has left my bedroom lately. Lately?
It was long ago. She has taken my guitar with her.
But history has slipped out of memory.

I am not prepared for a reckoning.
Is it a time for uninterrupted grief.
This no bitter recompense for no fault done.

The Tigers beat the Angles 4 to 1.



***A song for Lulu
