Sweet Lovely Death
I am waiting for your breath
Oh sweet death one last caress…
Sweet Lovely Death
I am waiting for your breath
Oh sweet death one last caress…
Coffee and Whiskey
How long will you miss me
Big boned Minnesota women
Blonde haired, blue eyed demons
Truckers and silos
How far will this love go
Ames Iowa and KD Lang
Corn fields split by a train
White on Green road signs
Endless chain of highway lines
Songs about women and dixie
How long will you tempt me
Tractors for sale for hours
Weight stations and water towers
Mile marker 210
North or South you hit the wind
I came here looking for nothing
Found John Deere tractors rusting
Milo to bluegrass to concrete
From country to suburbs to main street
As beauty abandons us,
You look over your shoulder with indifference
A self-centered sacrifice of no consequence
Come the strangers with no currency of significance.
You have grown to love me,
so hate me now before interest is lost.
This biding of time is insulting,
composed of conversations to convince us of civility.
Marking the beautiful as a beast
Replacing the superficial with substance
Questioning the rational and emotional
How does one cooperate without concession?
