take five
mike lazarchuk
When the sky shrieks steel
& razors of snow slash deep
When the wind slaps the
Window howling black
& dangerous with
Mighty midnight
Never deviating
From its frightful
Pattern of pirate blood
Don't let the world you're in
Infect your retinas
With rotten doscourse
Take five
Pour a shot of silver
From the bottle of
Smashing illusion
Fill up your lungs
With the room's
Musty decaying aroma
Ease down in your chair&doze
Dreaming about Polynesian reefs&shoals
& what lovely legs your lover has
In this crummy motel
