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.
