Immaculate Conception

What is there in music that it should so stir our deeps? - Thoreau

Full Moon on the Bayou by JC Findley

somewhere down in the swamps of nowhere

moon shinin'

dogs croonin'

crawfish boilin'

beer ice cold

it was dark and he wore sunglasses

music tore through the night like a serrated knife

my foot was a-tappin'

granny's chair was a-rockin'

"why do they have to make all that infernal noise with those gol dern 'lectric twangers", she inquired

because,

"boys will be boys

it's independence day

goddamn"  i replied

Author's Note

"I enter a swamp as a sacred place, a sanctum sanctorum… I seemed to have reached a new world, so wild a place… far away from human society. What's the need of visiting far-off mountains and bogs, if a half-hour's walk will carry me into such wildness and novelty.” - Thoreau
