Sam, a real story.
8-92

... got in a fight
rolled his bike and
Died.
lots of people felt sorry for her
she gave me lots of his clothes
she followed the bottle
when I got home,
my bottle was empty
Why don’t you just
beat me up, I deserve it
just hit me and you’ll
feel better
and you won’t be mad
and we’ll still be together
Together
In our
Fool’s Paradise
There’s a woman here
who loves me because
I can take her up in a cessna
you cry every time I leave
you love my music
I sold all my musical
equipment and
took up aviation
full time
Believing in god
believing in family
Terry Williams was her brother.
that name had weight.
that guy loved my kids he taught
my boys how to be men
then he died in a motorcycle accident
and the guy who fought
him picked his headless
lifeless body from the
road and
HE CRIED
(everybody in her family
but Terry Williams
hated me.)
So Sam said

There's there there

I wish I knew something about poetry so I could say why I liked it so much. It felt real, like I knew them.

Powerful and evocative

The broken, wandering diction evokes grief beautifully and with faithful intensity. It is so easy to write bad poetry about powerful emotions, and so difficulty to express them well. This really captures the essence of feeling in language vital, strong, and yet unobtrusive. It achieves that enviable quality: the words step aside, and the emotion speaks.
