Nevada


Am I dead yet, baby? 

 

Silver strokes call my name

All for our country 
At least that was the claim. 
 
And I said "Nevada"
my dying call to arms
Sin city left us 
Soldiers, small towns, old farms. 
 
Imperial palace
Territorial prize
Slot machines bringing
light to our daughters eyes.
