![]() Lonesome Neon NightsA Poem by Thomas W Case![]() My book, Seedy Town Blues is available on Amazon.com![]()
Angels with broken wings,
frostbitten dreams, morphine nights, and gangrene schemes. She had that broken glass sadness. The kind that gets worse with every slammed door and every lazy moon mad night. The light in her eyes was dim, like a candle in the fog, or like a frog that dreams of flying, but wakes up to the same old pond, day after degrading day. God, every time I see her, I want to take her home and give her a bath, feed her strawberries and rub her feet. I want to free her from the rain slick suffering she's stuck in, wash away the stench of the lonely diesel strangers, but I can't save her, hell I can't even save myself. So I bum her a Midnight Special, and light it for her, with a brief sulfuric blaze of glory bereft of any lasting light... walk away...Jack-O-Lantern grin into the lonesome neon night. © 2024 Thomas W CaseAuthor's Note
