Hazard, KY

-monday

train horn
blowin
four times
midnite coal run
west to east

dirty fingernails
trainman
watching his thread
pulled out
ragged



-tuesday

through heady
cigar haze laughter
he looks like my brother

i laugh
what a silly fool
behind these sad doe eyes



-wednesday

bluegrass morning
thunderstorms
drumming on plastic

sounds like
its gonna wash me
all away



-thursday

boding bloody dog morning
blood red dust afternoon
bleeding nostrils sunset



-friday

cock robin don't trust me
beady eyes me

me, with the glinting
meat predator teeth

he's young robin
red breast
black feather mohawk

he's cocky cock robin
hop struttin his stuff



-saturday

full moon come
take this lunatic
mind away

away from
kentucky bluegrass days
from bloody dog days
from sweat work
and chest beating
and whiskey drinking
goodfolk downhome days

full moon comes
to take me
to new hampshire
cold heart
