ragtag

Busline Grrl
~~~~~~~~
an unfinished song dedicated to jacqui j and all other beauty/punk girls on the dysfunctional transit system of metro phoenix

she's wearing fishnets at fourteen
this past life beauty queen
and i'm careening through her mind
at 10:05

i've tasted skin and dreams
been between her hand-sewn seams
and i've seen the heavens storm seductions in the flicker of her eyes

and the city streets are echoing
like a chorus
with the wind they sing along
a haunting harmony it's lungs of poverty
offer her it's only song

"you are beautiful"
yes
"you are beautiful"
so
"slumber sweetly streetworn seraphim"
yes
"slumber sweetly streetworn seraphim"
