Folks,
The following does not scan for meter nor rhyme. Still it is close enuf to a finished product, timely to my sentiments, to put forth. After some polishing, I trust my good friends in The Hooligan Family, will know what to do with this nonsense.

Rattlesnake Wine © Solomon 2011
Free, my girl, let us be standing
on the top of the world together
seeing the future in the shapes of clouds
where we share a cup of rattlesnake wine
Nothing seems so very easy
yes, water tastes like rattlesnake wine
but, winter is not so hard to go today
as may have been, but now not for forever
My beloved, you’re dealing stolen lighting
cutting the cards with silver hands
throwing all caution to the diamond winds
where it all comes around and turns again
Calamity and distraction
silken chains of satisfaction
the sacred cows and gilded calves
where everything is for not for certain
Flawless beauty born and torn in half
but, all that’s lost is again regained
as perfect love that dies and still remains
yes, still, nothing ever remains
Hey, savage beauty, tell me how and why
tell me where the fire dwells
how the golden flowing river stills
Tell me that you love me still.
We are seeking fortunes writ upon the sky
a future perhaps writ upon on the heavens
let’s go, let’s go, let’s go, to the sky
where crazy angels are throwing laughing bones
Everything is so very quiet at this moment
the water tastes like rattlesnake wine
summer is now not so very brief
as may have been once, but not for you
My beloved, you selling stolen lighting
throwing the dice with loaded hands
throwing caution to the diamond wind
and love to love and all to lose
Hey, savage beauty, tell me how and why
tell me where the fire dwells
how the golden flowing river stills
the crazy angels throwing laughing bones
Angels seeking fortunes writ upon the sky
looking to the future up not explained
seeking the way to play their next hand…
let’s go, let’s go, let’s go, to the sky.
