Clem Flowers - High Fly Flow
Star strain
​
bursts
​
before the station lights
​
Like drowning campfires-
​
Aspens kneel
​
in time with the
​
Song
​
Of the shuddering peaks
​
In the forlorn mining town
​
My blood has roamed
​
Since the newspapers argued
​
The merits of the New Deal
​
& my skull blooms flakes of
​
weeping willow ash
​
& i feel my soul
​
corrode
​
into a new sun
​
Like the one we were promised
​
For ages
​
On the welcome to town billboard
​
Above the Kiwanis & Lion's Club signs
