making love, dew damp
grass, by the light of the moon,
lonesome train whistle!

old car packed up high,
mattress tied down on the roof...
windows bare, empty.

potatoes, old bread,
last pot of coffee, brewed strong,
nothing on the shelf!

leather boots, hands worn
dark shadows beneath tired eyes
house on fire, broken

limitless, be free
give without thought, without need,
plant the seed, go home!

by the creek, campfire,
black coffee and fresh caught trout,
sizzle in the pan!

old men flogging their
meat, young men dying worthless,
nameless, feed the greed!

small child, hungry eyes
lips tremble, hands reach for you!
across miles, broken.

the stink of whiskey,
tired-eyed, angry, hard despair,
paint peels off the dream

your hand lost in mine
you clutch me, the raging night
melts, smelling your sleep!
