Louie Louie

have you ever gone
downstairs to a place

where vinyl & plastic
steel strings & code
surrender
to electric
feedback storyland soul

where a single mosquito
buzz thirsty resides

skillful & deft
heart in his ears listening
for blood
pulsing warm beat

i have & i tell you
lifelines are sweet

the delight is gentle the bliss & joy
bites chord memories
ghostly future past

am going downstairs
before winter snows

blind grateful hope
restless & old
embracing
eternal comfort

most affectionate friend play again & again & again ……… Louie Louie ……. amen.
