with talons in scalp & neck
with gravel voice inside head
black blade scraping skull
within red cedar rising tall...
someone rode their wild horse
& that someone was not me
wild horse

I know. My mind is a scary place.
Not so scary. 😂
I was half-expecting a link to the U2 song, but this one is reasonable. Now, if you linked to American Woman… I’d have to scratch my head a little.
Thank goodness it wasn’t the Butthole Surfers’ version LMAO. Lenny’s is okay.
I don’t know that version. 🤔
They had a few songs near the end that got radioplay, but their American Woman was in the height of their experimental stage and most people wouldn’t recognize it as a cover song, it’s THAT deconstructed. Kind of like putting David Lynch movies into a blender and seeing what pours out.
😲
Reminds me of a dragon
I can see how you might think that. Thanks!
The last line got me.
🙏 thank you Bridgette.
