Cloud Shadow 57
This rollie-pollie
somewhat hole-y
tug boat
is My Church ~
Yeeeeeeeap, I
live
in a
Church ~
A miraculously
afloat
somewhat
haunted Church ~
And thru a miraculously
split-open fissure in the cliff
of a Bad Lands canyon
I bump and lurch...
The craggy walls reach high
and the floor
a wiggly ribbon of gravel
spreads wide ~
In this Deep Desert crack
in the rock
thru
which I ride ~
And
which
spills
into ~
With
much
alluvial
ado ~
A big ol' canyon full of
cacti and tiny-leafed shrubs
and there's
a wild burro!
And buttes n' mesas
are painted
across the distance on
this Deep Desert Mural...
Cloud Shadow 59
And on a little
mound
of
sand ~
So inconspicuous in
this
Deep
Desert land ~
A lone coyote
wags
his
tail ~
As I chug by
low in the sky
like a
mystical snail...
Cloud Shadow 60
Fly
buzzards
fly
!
Swoop
right
on
by ~
As thee old
boat
levitates
along ~
And as I write
this
obscure
Deep Desert song...
Cloud Shadow 61
And
late
for
a date ~
I
con-
tem-
plate ~
Why don't I
show
some
grit ~
Cut
out
the
s__t ~
Sharp-
en
my
sword ~
And
serve
Our
Lord?
Cloud Shadow 62
Ohhhhhhh
thee
awesome
Light ~
It's
shorrrrrrr
getting
bright ~
As I pedal my tricycle
up the sidewalk
with all the strength
that I got ~
Oops, I mean as this
old tug goes forth
under the sun that's
so Deep Desert hot...
Cloud Shadow 63
And
in
the
Deep Desert night ~
In the
Deep
Desert
starlight ~
Mr.
Coyote
yips
"Har! Har! Har!"
And as I
follow
my
star ~
I answer with a
bone chiming
deep chested
Deep Desert howl ~
Out on the deck
with
a
little elf owl ~
Perched
atop
my Deep Desert
wind burnished skull ~
And there's a croon-
ing creak
in thee
old ship's hull ~
With which my
little owl
friend
chirps along ~
In this blooming
re-blooming
Deep
Desert song...
Cloud Shadow 64
Ohhhhhhh
thee
awesome
Light ~
It's
shorrrrrrr
getting
bright ~
As I run fast
as I can n' dive thru
thee air n' tackle the
feller with the football ~
Oops, I mean as this rickety
old vault of spirituality
careens forth on this
long long lonnnnnnng haul...
Cloud Shadow 65
Thru
'dee
deep
deep ~
Almost dead
or
half
asleep ~
Walls of rock
caved-in
or
awful steep ~
Desolate enough
to
make
you weep ~
It's
very
very
deep ~
On this ride so free
or at least
verily verily
cheap ~
Thru
'dee
deep
deep ~
Desert
of
Eternal
Sleep ~
Such a lonely place
it
might
make you weep ~
Yeeeeeeeap,
it's
the
deep ~
Deep
Deep
Desert
Bluuuuuuues!
