    She Sleeps Tight

    Sleeps so tight
    she has a marksman's eye.
    Maker's mark
    tattoo firewater spine.
    Leather shoes
    but nowhere to go.

    Dice and coins
    scattered in the snow.

    Won't be long,
    until I see her face.
    She's waiting
    in an undisclosed place.
    I've been conspired
    banned from my muse.

    This won't stick
    poor boy's all confused.

    In Salem town
    she keeps her chin so high.
    Darkened breeze
    she smiles as I roll by.
    Step inside
    she looks for tables left.

    Wink at time
    nothing lasts except yourself.
    Wink at time
    nothing lasts except yourself.

    Like a Steamboat
    she plans to roll on down.
    To the Gulf
    out of this dirty town.
    Copper mesh
    kept stuffed in a jar.

    Sharp cold hit
    turning wine to water.

    We know him
    eye deed by his ship.
    In a trap
    a kind of goosechase trip.
    Whiskey fumes
    and stale gunsmoke.

    Sunk and drowned
    with all her knives and jokes.
