THE GOOD SHEPARD

by BC Jewett/Philistine - Not entered

That was something, really!  Watching

Moses tear down the baking dense

Brush, the rocky slope, hear

Him rip and devour the August air;

We talk small and gulp down

Beers like LTD's do oil:

Will I buy the V8 jacked rear bug?

Who shoots the better game?

He's doin' fine, schemin' on Jane.

I'd never say how, off the old road

Beneath the willows, she laughs, sighs;

Sighs and shifts to a stretch of full moonlight on water,

Her darkest innermosts lit by my white want.

Old Moses stumbles up then

Jaws clenched in triumph the two by four

Leaps and begs for more, for more.



Reason for writing:

    Old men forget, yet shall all be forgot ...
