****FINAL**** SANTA ROSA, CALIF., SATURDAY JULY 24, 1976 PRICELESS |
Pisces My angel, a rose drifts past hungry stares turned on, oversized head phones pound a tidal wave of sound down her spine like a long stem, she soothes Fifth Avenue filth like a lost leaf in late Autumn, perfect walk perfect legs, perfect unison of perfect arms bobbing like lifting wings with each step. My angel, a rose is naked, a Venus under bedroom stars drinks too much merlot, I taste her revenge at kissable stares, we wrestle our lips for hours sleeping in each others' dream, I resurrect in dead moon light, mesmerized by the Pisces black on her middle back.
