Texas Drifter: Where Bouts Still Unknown

Marshall’s Law Dateline – Texas Drifter noted that he wanted to improve his painting with words skills, much like artists often improve their painting with colors skills. Hope Reader enjoys following Texas Drifter lyrical visual prose (LVP) writing exercise – Editor Marshall.

“Where Bouts Still Unknown”

“More men of desperate character, desperate fortunes, and evil propensities congregated here during 2015 than ever got together in any other place on earth. As long as a principal carried their pistol in plain sight, every man he met would take his hat off to him. Another custom had much to commend its personal observance: the custom of the principal taking off their hat when passing the church at noon.”

Texas Drifter’s Unknown Second:

Stuck here near nowhere,
Coyotes are calling
Time for our serenade
Them blues they come,
Them blues they stay
Instead of saying good bye
I’ll just say
Green white white
Green white

Tonight’s thoughts about tomorrow
Rainbows follow Heaven’s tears,
Fade with clearing skies
Timing just wasn’t there,
In the wrong place
At the wrong time
They wanted a reputation
Bury them standing up,
One carcass left a diary
Felt a little fear
When victim’s aura
Gently soaked my soul
No time for tears
When you come up,
From the other side

Stuck here near no where
Coyotes are calling
Time for our serenade
Them blues they come,
Them blues they stay
Instead of saying good bye
I’ll just say
Green white white
Green white

Thinking of two gardens,
Wind shapes my limbs
Can’t see that force
April offers a bud,
Heat builds a petal
Drops with the leaves
Snow brings no shelter
Scattered seeds before death,
Intending to carry on
Apathy in the second
Their words always rhyme
Remembered as novels
Not started or read
The plastic never bloom
Leave traces of wax


Stuck here near nowhere
Coyotes are calling
Time for our serenade
Them blues they come,
Them blues they stay
Instead of saying good bye
I’ll just say
Green white white
Green white

Self, how many years
Never trusting or loving
Thought we would die
Maybe slavery is better
Heard ignorance is bliss,
Domestic war crimes are fun
Sure we’ve a future
Only some futures,
Longer than others
Our crime, reading the loser’s diary
Come on self, let’s go
Bastards am getting closer
No time for tears
When you come up,
From the other side


Stuck here near nowhere,
Coyotes are calling
Time for our serenade
Them blues they come,
them blues they stay
Instead of saying good bye
I’ll just say
Green white white
Green white

Them blues they come,
Them blues they stay
Instead of saying good bye
I’ll just say …
