Country Girl
Okay here we go again two in morning
on the end of nothing known
trying everyone for what they had
I know its bad
but not so long ago it was what it was
no brimstone or magic in you her and him
and 23 billion of that other bacteria that exists
in a hand of soil thrown into a blue sky
dices of stars joining onto her
holding on to whatever goes mangling
with the warm gods of autumn
some crone playing softly in pools of swinging gold
besides the broken rooms
of yesterdays bleeding snow
giving honey trip don’t fly to Latino girls
who don’t know there taking my money before they go
and leaving me with a hole
which holds the moving lips
saying don’t leave
and crone
don’t leave leaning against the whole truth smoking
with slow magnetism
as burning rubbish with wings circles around your soul
and souls of other Latinos girls crooning for souls
flirting with car salesmen across the road
crooning softly with souls to be sold by big fat hands
moving slowly through the fire and into the inferno
the place where dogs wheeze in dust clouds
wherever long forgotten angles are flying
for the sound of midnight blues playing
in the streets below the clouds
and a high sun leaving but never leaning
into the west of an American daydream.
Go, go, go country girl go.
