A VOODOO SEPULCHRE

A  VOODOO  SEPULCHRE  WHERE EVERYONE CALLS YOU   BABY

Kirina Zabete cast a spell on me   Kirina of the

flaming hair  &  luscious lip    Handmaiden to

Marie Laveau   Voodoo Queen of New Orleans

Saw me walking down  Decatur St. swaying to

the beat   of a 2nd line following close behind   me

Now I find myself wandering aimlessly  searching for

Marie Laveau    getting way too close to the precipice           wondering if I will ever

go home

Winter  2012    N.O.L.A.

You can check in anytime  but you can never leave

DRINK A LITTLE POISON

DRINK  A  LITTLE  POISON   ‘FORE  YOU DIE

It’s a blur   my New Orleans holiday

Every memory  in motion:   walking  people  margarita  grits  

walking  people  margarita  grits    blues

Big Chief of the nation wild wild creation     walking  people  margarita  grits  blues

Big man with black cape   envelops me

I love you baby  he croons      Now stuck

inside of   said cape    wishing I might

never escape      Dr. Feelgood’s embrace

walking  people  margarita  grits  blues      magnolias

Winter 2012 New Orleans LA  For Big Chief Monk Boudreaux & The Wild Magnolias 

BACCHANAL BLUES

BACCHANAL  BLUES

I did not come  to the Delta to

sit around on Satsuma crates

drinking beer   I came   here

to commune with Becky Thatcher

And bring me back some Voodoo mojo     stowed   in my   white-ass soul

But my bro & his ho   have their hearts

set on another  Ghostrider     Here in

this broken down beer garden  next to

an empty naval base   in a no-whitey zone
