The Day of Our Feathered and Trembling Virginity


Yes I am here at the last glass of vodka
After the heart leads through a faint trace
Of the small divine polka you left in my pocket
Be a good whatever you are tonight and think
In your actual mind imagine for us another warm
Day for January the wooded hills of Vicksburg
Where you are and how you get there down
These moonlit sidewalks I have to imagine
Because this neighborhood has no dreams
I’d like to start with how it seems that your fine
Soul breathes and the world holds its breath
Silence and the wonderful nothing a blank
Place beneath the last living elms in Mississippi
You empty everything so we can be together
