Why Sweetwater Rules!
her religion set in gold
alchemical sagas challenge
patriarchal flaws - the posse
fails to efface this outlaw doll
she'll tangle you up
genuflect in the fresh
buffalo chips with a four-strand
braid of barbed-wire at your jugular
she'll bleed you preachably mute
better-known frontier figures
have tried and had less influence
on wives; and marriage brokers die
on the day of the arrangement black
roses wilt in their funerary vase of
skullduggery
idolatry foreshadows
the sinecurist; her thriving
community of saloons and
whorehouses boast an audience
deserving of her careful planning why
Sweetwater rules!
