dust bowl

fell in love with your science  poetry of noise  wise owl muse   wooed with a promise edged with pain despite visits to the dark felt touch followed through the wall the demons shouted louder laid to the alter splattered on your wall lost in past gone see me as i stare into nothing emptiness becomes you don’t walk away backwards that will no longer do see me as i stare into the nothingness of you grey sky blue moon dust bowl She no obey woman go slow shimmy and sway she know joy come of pain woman big laugh she know sorrow woman got sass mystery and somethin borrowed got a whole lotta old so strut queen voice like symphony she talk you lissen hear thunder she be born new so jump back  lightnin and rain nothing but woman dew she got honor she no obey she got a bouquet of roses gonna toss back yo way woman go slow shimmy and sway cookies chicken and gin jenny’s mama always wear dem big church hats skin smooth pretty black smell like cookies and chicken mmmmp jenny Just smell like gin her preety too cookies chicken gin
