anita o'day shot
Leadbelly
from behind haffa mason jar
of Ole Red jelly
and though i was not present
when the deed took place
i got that jelly
all
on my face.
One could tell, the way she
looked at me.
red jelly
real red jelly
" That all you wanna see? "
Because girl, there's more.
Much more.
You gotta look inside.
anita nodded,
flipped a coin
said, " Let the coin decide. "
Then it dropped.
I heard that shot ring out.
I felt that mirror shatter.
Leadbelly?
He bled jelly.
anita denies this
But, it don't matter.
There's the past.
There's the future.
There's the bullet.
but where's the soul?
There's me.
There's anita.
and then theres' ol' Leadbelly's
jelly-hole.
