Literature Text

Rhythm and blues

A faded melody

A melodic soul

Nailed to the cross

Jesus Christ superstar

Heaven's junction

On the sly, on the slide

Playing to the house

On a low down guitar

Vagabond

And a straw hat

Hustling for a living

A dime a dozen

The Joker and

the Ace of spades

Moonshine

A treasure trove

Prohibition

Liquor

Burnt amber

Charred whiskey

Skeleton key

Ebony and ivory

Fossilised tears

Automaton

A music box

Cinders

Exploding bomb

fires in the night

The light of reason

God willing

Good grace

Fate and the ill fated

The house of cards

Trigger happy

Russian Roulette

And a show of hands

Pistol whipped

Duel

On the throw of a dice

And the pull of a trigger

Live and let die

No one here gets out alive

The future's unsaid

And the here and now has

already been told

wonderful! It moves from sacred to profane with raw, lyrical intensity. 🎸🔥♠️
