RoundUp

working credo of
The  Sundance Wives
there is a mountain in the
distant West given us the
privilege of justice; oh Pisgah
the longhorns graze in your five
o'clock shadow of some bad boy's
beard, sun shades the backside of
judgment day,

Wyatt Earp brings
us whiskey to choose
a posse just a frog hair
faster than the outlaw running
from the Witchita federal court,
we retain the posse with the Powder
River Hymnals and a hogshead barrel
of earth bourbon, white lightning cracks
over Pisgah at timberline, the noose brought
down lower where the tree grows, when the outlaw
reaches the end of his rope, we hear a thud.

Copyright Ms. Sage Sweetwater, firebrand lesbian novelist

"sun shades the backside of judgment day,

Sage....I absolutely LOVE this phrase. In a prior life, as a good little fundamentalist, I oftennheard of judgement day, but never did i realize it had a backside!!!!! Great stuff.....

Look Away Silence by Edward Patterson

Martin Powers wanted an ironing board for Christmas. Instead, he got . . . Matthew Kieler, a non-returnable gift, but a gift that kept on giving. A powerful tale of survival, compassion and unapologetic love in the time of AIDS.

Another Way of Being by Sion Liscannor

A (shockingly) truthful autobiography with elements of fantasy, philosophy, and historical fiction.
