Tombstone


Whores, that's Madam to you -
Phoenix with ruffled feathers
Born-again red-light district,

Ash from a cremated brothel,
Pick-ax buried Preacher with
His bottle of gin,

Tin star pinned on corruption with
A gold tooth, burro tied with hemp
Rope, born-again into a noose,

Hang straight-lace born-again into
Red velvet brothel curtains to you
Madam Pearl DeVere...

I...

Ms. Pearl Devere's Tombstone in Cripple Creek, Colorado

Authors Note: Colorado Firebrand Lesbian Novelist, Poet and Storyteller Sage Sweetwater visits Pearl DeVere at her grave at the Mt. Pisgah Cemetery just outside the city limits of Cripple Creek, Colorado.  Every month, Sage leaves Pearl a half-full bottle of whiskey propped up against Pearl's tombstone and a live red rose. The local town wastrels usually take the whiskey, if so, Sage replaces another half-full bottle each month.  Sage Sweetwater has written several poems on Authors Den based on the lovely Madam Pearl DeVere, Cripple Creek's wealthiest Madam and owner of The Old Homestead Parlor House (Brothel) which is now, in its form as a museum with all of Pearl's original furnishings in Cripple Creek.
