Bury Your Guns

Lost on a playa
Our inner desire
is to see the sea
Don’t speak for me
I wanna whore with
which carnal lore
and whiskey sores
Will set me free

Florida

Not a place to stay
Not a diner in town
Not a lover around
Gonna sit in sand
And watch the ocean swells
Tortured black summer
Gonna watch you drown
Not a place to camp
Got a bugged up van
And a trailer stuck in sand
Not a place to hide
It’s a made up space
Land of guns and mace
Erase the wooden stares
Tortured black summer
Better watch me drown
Gotta get outta town

Wolverines

In a parlor, festooned in red
and smoke from garrulous men
Thought about the black spots
in the short grass
with five o’clock shadows
and lackadaisical gaits
On cold days
the place to be for a tick
long sated for blood
Oh how the sun filled the world
with its concentration of stars
and the play of the light and heat
and how it must feel
with sunlight coming on down
how it must feel
off the thinness of eyelids

I'd Drink All of it

A fist in the rectum
As the preacher announces
he’ll leave your life alone
If you believe
A reprieve from the men who
want me more than they want you
In the bar with a bear in a hat
and a drunk playing cards with a
fool I become you
and I drink to that,
I drink all of it.

Evening Star

She was tired
of being alone
in the horse stalls
moon for light
burned too bright
sometimes she mourned
then made the call
lights and arrogance
in the alley
where they once met
stabbed him in the neck
and left the blade
She was tired
of being alone

The Crow Who Died

Head in a Jar
Birds in a Whirl
The Crow Who Died
On the Window sill
See em come on down
For the sill of lightning

There Are Death Squads

Glanton spied the mayor’s eyes
Left ‘em both there, bound and tied
Went back and found his men
Gotta really drunk and philosophied
There are death squads / Among us
Yumas came at the break of dawn
Gonna take the ferry down
Felt the arrow in his abdomen
They built a bonfire on the hill
Keep calm and look around
Try to spot that mysterious sound
Run fast and don’t look back
A bibical killing ground

Mexican Pizza

Can’t eat this vermin
Or spoilt little children
Gonna go blow
Steam in Mexico
Where the wind kicks up
And hearts beat slow

Pinyon Viscosity

Stark naked Judge passes camp
as he’s making the rounds
What he finds is what he’s found
Twenty heads with ears to the ground
Whoa ooh whoa
What’s your velocity?
What’s your trajectory?
Got a bag of slugs
Pinyon viscosity

Moon and Submoon

Tall lights on the route tonight
Neon strobes in the horse stalls
Men in greasy suits up against the wall
+ the wolves are screaming at the moon
I suppose the same
can be said for those
who are dead
But who the hell knows?

Straw Army

It’s a straw army, oh no
They’ve come to get us, put us in I suppose
Should we wait right here
Go find a cave to hide in
Or head on down to Old Mexico
A straw army
Coming on down the road

Ox Moscow

Gibberish and sibboleths
The war of which you speak
And all the words you seek
Fall on Deaf Ears
Gotta get a ride

Gonna get a rise

Master of none
Gonna kill my son
If the end reveals
what the book done told
Human heads bought and sold

Execution Museum

The skin from scalps is sticky
The Judge, with hand on his . . .
turns sand to blood as he
smiles, spits he tells me
It’s the start of your death
And you know nothing yet
The light’s gone and wretched
Curl in a coil, their last rites
Howl of squalor
now relish your appetities
[and the rest of us
slouch and bear witness]

Lonesome Whistle

The sun is up and yet I see no sky
The zephyr scalds and the well is dry
Ants crawl into the eaves and sicken the settlers with their poisoning
We promised a tramp that we’d set up camp but we changed our minds
The answer to our prayers is the iron road
