Are you good at puzzles? Cards? Fortunes? Fame? Their screams was heard all over the neighborhood. It was three AM & no one seemed to mind. Do you keep your dog muzzled & feed her meat? The next morning Jacob, the watchman, came out into the light & found them under a green coat. Do you polish your silver & hide your cash? You know, you never can tell. He was young, maybe early twenties, she, on the other hand, was older possibly fifty...give or take. In Luca there's a cellar with a set of golden teeth &... No one mentioned it until rumors began. Small children were kept inside & no one went for the paper after six. If you need a ride call Jessica at 1-798-567-1222 or Bobby...in case you're brave enough...
If the river rises we'll build your mother a temple where she can make dolls that glow in the dark / whittle teeth from oak & fingers from Mahogany. When the rains come again we'll be halfway home & weep with the kids who run red in their own blood...for stallions left to rot in fouled stalls. After the first snow I'll uncoil a length of rope & hang the first man who comes to our house & opens his case & tries to sell the remnants of stars. When you move to another city I'll bury the dog, crawl under the house & dig for our first song & with a thin heart I'll leave too... stop on the canyons rim & let loose the doves. |
