*Johnny in black
a girl's heart attack--
his perfect-guitarred-croon
made all them girls swoon
and for her...
her name was June
A stint in prison
for freedom-- the reason
dude learned his lesson
came back to sing-them
and brought along a girl
named June
A ring of fire
his heart's desire
no line to walk
when you walk the talk
Johnny simply had a thing
for June.
And through his heart
though worlds apart
she saw what was true
and it carried them through--
that beautiful view of Johnny
in June.
Yeah..
there was hurt in it too
all things-- covered
in blue
all because Johnny
loved June*

#*... And the skin opened up into wide, cavernous cracks..
and there was a hissing sound-- a burning smell..
not unlike that of a calf-branding
on an everyday, working South Dakota cattle ranch--
The feathering smoke, curling around the ancient stubs
of that which is as of yet, de-horned.
And there was a raging scream--
yet, one almost as if harmononiously intertwined
with the guttural moans of a pleasure-chant:
that which is borne.. not of victimization,
but of deep, consensual agreement
And, against this kind of liaison between
flesh and death, all the power of love's ache
becomes a l m o s t as if nothing other
than a whisper...
almost.*
