The young hunter’s demise-
at the head of the bed
wrethes of wildflowers
wildflowers, among the beer cans
one more careless person
more or less
beauty roses
and she in her nakedness
inside the window
what up! ya’ll fraid a gunz or somethin? where i
come up gunz just gotta be.
playa james
rap club
you know what everybody got
beneath they coats
lunch crowd of three
frosty breaths–
one more black crow joins the fray
