C in Country 2
Alone, I cry to country classics.
This, I call my church,
these lost divas–finding their way
through voice, through vice.
This, I call my church,
these lost divas–finding their way
through voice, through vice.
Patsy Cline’s voice like honey,
sings the Tennessee Waltz
& she’s able to envelop me
like “Honey” from a lover’s lips.
I should have been born
a woman two decades earlier,
a hustling sort with 80s prom photos,
with a will so great & nobody to ruin.

those old Country Divas were forces to be reckoned with. I want their hair.
and their grit.
well done.
“with a will so great & nobody to ruin” – fantastic!
Such great use of language — I love “hustling sort” and “lost divas–finding their way through voice, through vice.”
Powerful voices, powerful women.
