with so much light shadows are bright
the color of sound roots in neutral ground
white goods or the mist of wolves
mourners dance in a voodoo trance
the end of truth the death of youth
wealthy preachers modest teachers
streetcar named desire flood and fire
a gulf storm wet and warm
a green wine followed by a black vine
like swaying palms the dripping calm
like the blues flesh of the bruise
like the rain crisscrossed the train
who’s got trouble all the trouble
over the river the deep river
canopies drying horses flying
cannabis smoke like incense and hope
love and peace lies and police
musty rooms floating tombs
a lizard call wakes a shadow doll
