Outlaws of Pisgah
thighs that could crack walnuts
braided her mane with pretty mercantile gossip
bought all the fire ribbon the store had she told me
I was trouble I didn't see it stopping her she tied the package
and strutted into the saloon like I'd been waiting
her religion divorced
the pulpit and scandalized
what the printing press headlines leaked out
she wore a holster with blindside stamped on it
whiskey found the fire
she found the courage
I opened the package upstairs
in our room walnuts needed eaten
said she'd help me lighten the heavy load
and we'd get rich I believed her
outlaws of pisgah
spirit wind swirls the dust devil
long ago deal that haunted us into wealth
prophesies outside the box she sold all the
fire ribbon the store had beyond the veil she
told me I was trouble I didn't see it stopping her

trying to eat pearls
oh braided sweetgrass switches
to sting the horny reserves
right into the pleasure box
of your echoic sound effects
rope hairs & thigh high leather garters
for the Flintlock
