Memphis

Memphis
a single headlight
pierces the indigo ink
of morning mist
what I expected would be
a shiny red trolly
was instead covered in a
flat faded still pale
base coat
the car’s paint job
unfinished and dull since
I guessed the 1940s
absorbed Times’
silent secrets...

Some Velvet Silver Spurs

Silver Spurs
Some Velvet Morning
Sonny was no
Lee Hazlewood
Cher knew that...
Nancy Sinatra was one
Lucky Lady!
