Page 2: A Song for New Orleans

that the spirits leave us?

they must not be moved by our bodies.

When the lights appear at last we discover

that he is nowhere to be seen, he is gone and with him went the reluctant dead.

We rise and walk

away?

it is all over.

A SONG FOR NEW ORLEANS

Oh the wine's fine

but listen you drink too

damn much, I drink too damn

much fine wine eating

salty fish, we have to

get out of this place

I can't whistle

you can't kiss

eating salty fish.

24 George Keithley
