Saw him try                   Dear Love                          in the mosh pit
How many times
The couple sprawled out on the rocks below the Acropolis
Virginia in Barcelona who shared her wine and a kiss

Dear Love       In the south a braless T really means something
Got in the car with Tracy driving when we were 13
Roof of the church with Teresa three years older
Margaret next door her ass-length hair

L grown up to be a crack whore
R’s son his brains blown out like Grandma
Five dead in four weeks            and then your cousin
The wreck an 8-hour void

Smile for the camera                  the dimples beneath your kidneys
