Last week. This week:
- “Feathers in a Bag” by Hera
There once was a girl here with a fist full of fate - “I Want You” by Bob Dylan
The guilty undertaker sighs - “Veronica” by Elvis Costello
Will you wake from your dream, with a wolf at the door - “The Bleeding Heart Show” by the New Pornographers
It’s taken magic to a primitive new place - “When the President Talks to God” by Bright Eyes
Is he resolute all down the line? - “Rumors” by Josh Ritter
No lullabies through the locks, love - “Stolen Shoes & a Rifle” by Blitzen Trapper
They worship at the foot of the keep - “Violet” by Jeremy Messersmith
Blade of grass in her aching fist - “Little Talks” by Of Monsters and Men
It’s the house telling you to close your eyes - “Window of My World” by Guided by Voices
Take me in the words that so complete you
This may be my favorite of the weird, blank-verse poems that sometimes emerge from these things.
Good luck!
