Alamo Tombstone
by William Taylor Jr.
Weeknights at the old hotel

it's been some
years now

you were too young

but if we were quiet
and  made no trouble
the mean eyed bartender

she'd usually let us stay

with our vodka drinks
and our little table
in the corner

sometimes there was
the piano man

but often just the jukebox
that we'd fill with Patsy Cline

we smoked stolen cigarettes
even though I could've bought them

there's not much else to mention
other than the blue of your eyes
and the way you laughed
after saying something
especially cruel

now the bar and the jukebox
the piano and its man
are long gone

lost into the grey mist
of everything

and the memory of it
just something
I'd like to hold on to
a little while more

before they come and
take it

away with the rest.
