Photo courtesy of Tess Kincaid for Magpie Tales i remember that july night my eyes boast that they saw first what had sifted down to my heart and built an altar to miss firecracker she was pitching elevator passes to some sort of suburban pre-approved heaven singing the bluesy truth about the coming glory Hallelujah in platform vintage trampling boots she was a watch fire for the word which my jubilant feet followed all the way down to the mission district i feared no evil in her aura sword to her bosom steel in her eye her smile was a trumpet call that peeled the wrath from the grape she wrote my name on her hand and pressed it to my lips "you are the one apart from the 99" i marched on, side by her side heart door unlocked and ajar while feeding apples to the sheep the truth poured out she did not want me for her she wanted me for Him her pawn for salvation a piece of silver for her purse all i was, was all this was there was no us...
