Edgewise (2004)
Skylarking
with angels, sunfishing for fun,
Miner
Forty-Niner where hummingbirds hum,
Moonshining
the apple pressed in the mind's eye,
Down
Antelope Freeway far as the crow flies.
The cat
got my tongue, now I'm in the dumb show,
Painting
the desert a quicksilver glow,
Borrowed a
tongue from the coyote song,
Red Rover
doggeral rhymes with, 'So long!'
Skullduggery
with a bone to pick over,
Bruised on
the heel lately, got to get sober,
Windsnapping
melody down in the valley,
Bush-whacked
by monsoon, I'm happy-go-lucky.
In the
dell now where the sheep safely graze,
There in
the skyway sweet grace will amaze,
Climbed up
a tree found a nest with a bird in,
Dumbstruck
by lightning, I can't get a word in.
