Irene Dämmerung / Will Dockery

[Will Dockery]

Irene Dämmerung
She gave me a rock
that she had hand painted
Irene Dämmerung
held my unrequited passion.
Irene had a gentle heart
I knew this when we
were first acquainted.
She wore a rabbit fur coat
right in fashion.
Her husband Twilight Joe
was always high rolling.
Joe had a cool hand like Sundance
on his bride's visage we all gazed.
A man with the good smoke
that he was controlling.
Irene could catch men's eyes
even other girls were amazed.
She'd paint little stones
designs she had created.
Traded her fur jacket to Tina
for a green felt one that was better.
She took off with Joe Shannon
back down to Monticello.
The last thing we ever heard from her
was a sad letter.
That Irene had walked in one day
to see Joe dead from pleasure.
Tied off arm and needle
Joe had overdosed on his treasure.

Excellent once again.

Good morning, yes, she was.

Irene Dämmerung

She gave me a rock
that she had hand painted
Irene Dämmerung
held my unrequited passion.
Irene had a gentle heart
I knew this when we
were first acquainted.
She wore a rabbit fur coat
right in fashion.
Her husband Twilight Joe
was always high rolling.
Joe had a cool hand like Sundance
on his bride's visage we all gazed.
A man with the good smoke
that he was controlling.
Irene could catch men's eyes
even other girls were amazed.
She'd paint little stones
designs she had created.
Traded her fur jacket to Tina
for a green felt one that was better.
She took off with Joe Shannon
back down to Monticello.
The last thing we ever heard from her
was a sad letter.
That Irene had walked in one day
to see Joe dead from pleasure.
Tied off arm and needle
Joe had overdosed on his treasure.

Irene Dämmerung
She gave me a rock
that she had hand painted
Irene Dämmerung
held my unrequited passion.
Irene had a gentle heart
I knew this when we
were first acquainted.
She wore a rabbit fur coat
right in fashion.
Her husband Twilight Joe
was always high rolling.
Joe had a cool hand like Sundance
on his bride's visage we all gazed.
A man with the good smoke
that he was controlling.
Irene could catch men's eyes
even other girls were amazed.
She'd paint little stones
designs she had created.
Traded her fur jacket to Tina
for a green felt one that was better.
She took off with Joe Shannon
back down to Monticello.
The last thing we ever heard from her
was a sad letter.
That Irene had walked in one day
to see Joe dead from pleasure.
Tied off arm and needle
Joe had overdosed on his treasure.

Ping G.J.D. - Added #'''Irene Dämmerung''' 2018 and shelved the poem

it replaces... for the next volume, perhaps.

I'll add "Irene". I think it also belongs in the "Archetypes"

section..

As for your cuts: Any poems we don't use can go into Zod's

compilation, if he cares for them. But I would like to go through the
poems you've cut and discuss them. I think they're all important to
include, for one reason or another.

Maybe the best thing for me to do is to compile a list of those, and

make the case for each one. I'll do just that.
How is the status at this point?

Cool early back story...!

Exactly.
