Constance La France Poet Verse

Notes About The Poem

Welcome To Hell

I was ridin' my black Harley down a dark curving road,
my long tangled blonde hair full of wild wind and highway dirt;
when far off-   I see a hotel light and a WELCOME sign.

In the office, a toothless guy in a ripped black t-shirt,
bone-weary I ask him, do you have a room for the night;
welcome to Hotel Hell where you check in but never check out.

I heard howling and saw shadows dancing in the moonlight,
guitars were wailing and weeping and pretty boys were swaying;
someone hands me the BEAST known as weed holding me still.

And soon with those pretty boys, I am dancing and clinging . . .
