You and me
together
running
wild
we are tethered
I let you go anyway
like a pile though
I still kept all
Your intrinsic feathers
inbred inborn built in
hardwired
we come and go
like the weather
The song
I met a boy in 1st grade
I took him to that place
Past 2 honey suckle bushes
a gravel trail
over a creek
to the trailer
and I looked at his face
can we save that poor dog
you and me can save him
you unhook his leg
10 days later
a red ballon we released
for a grave
not for the rescued dog
for you, my childhood friend
my 1st lover, disgrace.
holding still
your invisible hand
by my waist.
Forever.
In the North Carolina papers it read
Al BURR Marl
had a tragic loss.
His 7 year old boy drowned
in a creek bed of moss
trying to chase a dog
they called BOSS
when they found
AL BURR’s junior
he had one black eye
a chain in his right hand
knotted and tied
everything spelled AL Senior
but no one dares to try
so they say the boy
fell and sank
in one inch of water
why do anything but lie
when AL BURR Marl
is The Deputy of
Albermarle High
Charlotte Hornets
Football drafts
national pie.
