Doc Holliday's Huckleberry Zephyr

poetry rustlers
and religious bandits
steal their way into the
firebrand's western legends
jesus traffickers and pulpit hustlers
where she dominates the borders, a
prophet guided by the equine wearer
of bridle and bit, killer of fraudulent christian
bible toting social slurs, sparks shooting from
the 16 point rowels of her spurs,

high energy
westerns where
kid rock and billy the
kid set up camp, revered
and reviled, noose hanging
from the reckoning tree, east
wood's beguiled,

pulp fiction
flowering of
disasters and
tragedy that befell
religious exploiters
like an ill wind gunning
down from the heavens,
doc holliday's huckleberry zephyr,
exploiters blown away by the masters,

mormons set
up supply posts
where sweetwater
buys her word rations
working her placer claim
in the long tom gold sifting
trough the water running birth,
marriage and death all-that-is the
same,

poetry rustlers
and religious bandits
steal their way into the
firebrand's western legends
jesus traffickers and pulpit hustlers
where she dominates the borders.
