NO VIDEOS FOR STACY SUTHERLAND
(Abner Burnett, © copyright 2006, all rights reserved)

That’s about it, I guess.
You had to have loved him to know what I mean.
Clementine said he was the sweetest thing.
No wonder about meaning much anymore;
About things getting mean;
About meaning getting leaner.
The lingering impact of desire for honor;
What getting shot dead does for you.
What more or less does video do?
It was searing, romantic, mythologizing melodies
Surfing the Blues, Stacy’s guitar playing;
“Scarlet and Gold”; myths and legends,
At the last, tomorrow’s hurricanes.
“Here she comes, my love, with the earth beneath her feet, my love, she comes.”
