Frayed
nothing is forever not computers
not the love we told the world we’d
suffer through together the hell
the high water line washed
us like a Kelvinator on a big load
it was all a drudge baskets too
heavy for lifting the slippery grass
the mozzies biting from the late rains
of the summer that couldn’t get it together
to just end and get it over with sweating
over soups like some voodoo might
bring down winter close the doors
let the clothes horse over heaters
change the timbre take our minds off
all the words that fray
just as long as the guitar plays

Dear Kerri, "all the words that fray" — here it is all marvelous. Thank you.
