In the next room
the pool balls laugh
but the mouth across from me
spits wordleftovers

They fall to the floor
and run between my feet
like cockroaches
with six bustling legs.

From 23Rd Street Lullaby

Underneath the swirling light of jasmine tea and smoke
You traced my face up on the barroom wall
And you tried to intimidate me as you drank your drinks and joked
Saying it takes more than clean hands to catch angels when they fall
Well I'll keep that in mind
Come on darlin' oh my my
Come and hear my 23rd Street lullaby
Got a bottle of wine, a bag of tricks
There's a place for you under my fingertips
There's a place for you, oh my my
Up on the rooftops of my 23rd Street lullaby
Me and you on the avenue, on a summer night
Bass and drums and the traffic hums and I feel all right
Well come and walk beside me darlin' and I'll take my place
I'm a little low on courage, but I'm high on faith
And I feel so fine
Come on darlin', oh my my
Come and hear my 23rd Street lullaby
Got a bottle of wine, a bag of tricks
There's a place for you under my fingertips
There's a place for you, oh my my
Up on the rooftops of my 23rd Street lullaby

Bonus Poem:
TRAVELING MUSIC
The wounded moon
Begins its long descent.
A stable of restless horses
Whinnies in the glad wind.
Uprooted trees roam South
In search of higher ground.
We are penetrated by the water
Of the perfect rainstorm,
Leaking into the blooded ground,
Leaking into the flesh of stone
Where the hot earth’s heart
Pumps mountains skyward,
To break, like waves
On salty desert plains.
- Eric Greinke, 1948,
