Poetry of Issue 9: Let my people go-go

Let my people go-go

I saw your hymn residing gracefully

among hidden tambourines.

Butterscotch snakes and mind spiders

saluted you in the morning.

Your missing cult traveled early miles

just to glance at your flaming majesty.

You and your hymn fought a whiskey fight

for the honor of my hand, and I

gratefully thanked you for doing your duty,

and for letting my people go-go

as my happy Hittite hotshots

played their riotous tunes

of harmonious musicality.

May I have this dance?
