Cloud Shadow 17


With one cracking

finger

of

   bone ~


Left

so

all

   alone ~


Agrip

thee

anchor

   tip ~


Inch

by

inch

   aslip ~


I was just a-

bout ready, ready

 or not,

   to let go ~


When I hollered

"Oh Jesus, please have

mercy

   on this poor 'bo ~


"Please, send some

angels

to rescue

this old gringo!"


So

wouldn't

you

   know ~


They were oh so

gorgeous so

splendid

   oh orbs of light ~


Two of them hovered

to either side

of me

   with oh so much delight ~


A pretty face smiled in

the midst

of

   each shining orb ~

Their lighter than light

light

I seemed

   to absorb ~


Til I stood

upon

the

   deck ~


Of

my

old haunted

   wreck ~


Chug chugging

across

Deep

   Desert sky ~


With a whole lot of

rhyme

but with no

   reason why ~


Then the two beautific

creatures

 of heaven-

   ly glow ~


Dashed away

toward

old

   Mexico ~


Having allowed me to cheat

the

hungry

   rocks below ~


And

the

God damned spirit

  of John Ringo...

The poor
