Morton Salt Girl

morton salt girl crying in the rain
   frailly under her umbrella.

   Alkaline blink how she 
crys when I sink.

 a little lower 
than usual this time.

Getting to drunk to remember
 to rhyme.



So I find Find a little strength and 
 gather a few  bones .

these ressurect my burdened
 lazarus returning to you.

   the right side of the bed
   with my head imprint
   still on the pillow

  come closer she says
  my morton salt girl
