American Isolation in Search of a Heartache: A Cento

Michael Brockley

    The grievance merchants have made too many straight shots through Jerusalem to the undiscovered country beyond while carrying Buddha blues on a bed above eighteen wheels. Drag queens in limousines dream of the wheels of Laredo. But Goliath is dead. The ghost on the road is a priest with St. Peter’s autograph. Who among us contains multitudes of good souls and better angels? Those hostages to detours and roadblocks. On velvet mornings desperadoes under the eaves listen to hummingbirds. To purgatory’s romance in the dark. Every outlaw understands when a cowboy trades his spurs for wings, he’s exhausted the only reason not to work in no man’s land. The last Duquesne night whistle howls from Jayne Mansfield’s Cadillac. How am I going to find the Galway girl among empty bottles and lonely streets? Pick me up off the floor. Come break my heart again.
