For A Dead Folk Singer’s Daughter

Folk songs committed suicide

after being on the

brink of Orchestra Hall

fame and glory and all.

After being with the

birthing protest, dad aside,

he gave his girl a ride,

then felt guilty for the

singer’s journey to the fall.

Who knows what writing’s on the wall,

as she looked into the

camera then off to the side –

flinch and twinge she tried to hide.
