Back In The Haunted Saloon
~~~
I strolled back to the haunted saloon
arrived floating
swung the bat-wings aside
one fell off its hinge, disintegrated
into a pile of dust as
the winged-heels of my hiking boots fluttered by
what a relief
finally floating after all these earth-bound years
“I’ll have a double” said I
to the barmaid, Mary
ahhhhhhh Mary
Holy Mary
our favorite Mary
amen & hallelujah…
