One of the brightest storytellers of our times Old West Sweetwater in Hollywood film promotion content marketing the lesbian western. Johnny Cash background. Poetry that sells!


Surveillance of Race Floyd Newberry's Final Run

rolled into town
white collar starched
gold pocket watch chain
timed to break
 
train whistle collided
with the out of tune church organ
wreck did in by prophecy

the lawyer
hung his shingle
facing west to pick up
race floyd newberry's cohorts scent
apple box camera surveillance on tintype

four pulls
train whistle warning
before race floyd newberry's
final run his cohorts lie in piles
unheeded severed heads arms legs and
spines of books strewn in the gruesome wreckage
bloody carnage bearing witness from a lawyer's shingle
creaking in the wind the ghost town taking names for tombstones
predestined to hell by association

Copyright Ms. Sage Sweetwater, Celebrity firebrand lesbian novelist

Not being familiar with Floyd Newberrys final race or "run" I don't have a reference for this one Sage. I can only guess that this happened long ago and somehow it's expected he went to hell. The place holds his ghost and the strewn wreckage may still be dscernable on the landscape. Something sad and wonderful happened. Bob

I have written about Hell so often that you would think I have an intimate relationship with the place.

We are often "predestined to hell by association."
