Evangeline

Since I saddled your Azteca horse

A promise is a promise ’til divorce

You know you’ve always been good for a laugh

Separating the wheat from the chaff

Evangeline, you’re a folk set apart

Passion’s smoke rising from your black Art

Where others have a mind for defense

She incinerate rabbit-proof fence

Mercy, Evangeline

I’m coming clean

She’s down-to-Earth, hovering

Unknowing

And mercy, bring

Evangeline?

Soda straws and razorblades

SF ritual trade

Recycled aluminum foil I gleaned

Spoon routine

Lucky thirteen

Evangeline!
