Ballad of P Star Belle (Written Feb 11, 2013)

Southern faded beauty
Draws bony fingers
Ashes long cigarette
Quarrels with forgotten enemies
Exaggerated eyeshadow 
Closes heavy lids 
On the Bayou Sunset
With over ripe wine 
Staining lines in lips
Communing with inner
Ancient queen
Running from broken heart
Chicken fat nights alone alone
Weeping for faded glory
Of past beatitudes
And glitter days gone by
In the whiskey boneyard
Hush lil baby hush hush 
It'll be alright.
