A Poem by Coyote Poetry

Thank you for reading.

Dirty wings, we shall have. For dear Susie.

1- I told dear Susie, a nickel for dance, a dime for a kiss,

a quarter for a day with you near the flowing river.

Pretty Susie gave me her Ohio beautiful smile.

She told me. I would give you everything you need because

dear Johnnie. You are the only one who adore me.

2- Dear Susie, I found war and ugliness.

When I wanted death, I remember you.

I remember how you held my hands, and how we danced for the September moon.

Dear Susie told me. I am dirty with sin, and I am ugly with sadness.

My angel wings are torn and beaten. I am dark with anger.

You don’t want a broken woman.

I brought her close and I whispered to her.

A nickel for a dance, a dime for a kiss and

a quarter for day with you near the sea.

Dear Susie, you are more beautiful than yesterday.

New scars and old scars, we shall have.

I see my Ohio dream, my first and last wish.

I would make you smile, and we would re-write our story.

Where two people overcame and they found the kindness of love.

Coyote
