The Lavender Outlaw is in the House!


weddings are depressing as marriage
funerals are once-in-a-lifetime thing
that's what your whole life was for
the lavender outlaw will keep you guessing
who's inside the hearse-drawn carriage

pulled by the percheron harness polished
pushed by the celebrity tabloid lesbian hollywood
gossip in its coffin lifted out and carried to the grave
where the tombstone is etched of the blessing of those helping her
"In order to Give One must Learn to Receive" god's test demolished

the Lavender Outlaw lit firecrackers
scared the hell out of bigots, frauds and liars
those who will remember the days of the horse-drawn hearse
some particular touches her the most and she has a story that
has drawn the attention of national media and financial film backers
she is humbled that a stranger has offered a horse-drawn hearse for
her film saying "I know the sacrifice you gave and I'm going to give you
the highest honor that I can give to the Lavender Outlaw."

Copyright Ms. Sage Sweetwater, celebrity firebrand lesbian novelist

we had 2 draft horses on the farm...oh I loved them!
I'm lacing up my finest boots...the lavender ones
adorning peacock feathers in my hat...
I have a special bouquet for you too
reach for my garter
and find a lil'nip of your favorite hot spot...

Lipstick Stains on ur corset...♥

Love the lines...unless you are one of the poor shits where that's what your whole life is. Patrick

Interesting imagery and wordplay, Sage....every time I read one of your poems I feel as if I qm on the aset of a surreal western.

Best of luck,
