The RetroLounge Daily Poem Thread (Mon 9/22/2008)
Popular Science

She drops the big white bullet palm to palm
to palm like stepping down on swinging stairs
to the top of Big Rock Candy Mountain,
where the good cells sing in the cigarette
trees and there's always ice and whiskey too.
Her mouth's blistered from chemo and she's full

of holes as she goes where hydrocodone
grows in the acetaminophen shoals.
She laughs when I write our hearts make morphine.
She writes you're three hours away happy in a book,

floating in a tub.

Steve Davenport

5. My dear Retro!
I've been so damn distracted today that I forgot your poetry thread...

Until now!

And I like this one...

Even though it's crazy!

Very fine indeed!

Thank you...
