'Down On Me'


In West Port Arthur

the winds blew hard

to carry her away

The times were ripe

Big Brother raw

that crossroads by the bay

Her dive was deep

through Kozmic Blues

a legend to unfurl

But not escape

that Ball and Chain

—still searching for the Pearl

 

(Ode To Janis Joplin: November, 2023)
