Drunkspeak, Soberly Written

Hello, bunny,
I am a lost soul
Just like
All the boys from Texas
Crying out
Jolene in their sleep.
Or a transparent mariner
Sailing wrecks in the deep.
My heart in a jar,
Grave soil in my mouth,
The vampire
Barred from his youth,
Forever boy,
Bunny moon,
I became
A sun worshipper.
I feasted
In the Hotel California
On wine that never saw dusk.
I found
Without pain—with only a moth—
The ruby in the dust.
Yet bunny, hello
The sea laps cool
Against the coffin wood tonight.
Oar song fills me
And nothing takes me
Just because it can.
Forgive us the remix
Nineteen
And seventy-nine,
Heaven is mirrors on the ceiling,
The world is a cowgirl in the sand.
