poetry

Eccentricities of Murphy's mind. Jessica Murphy is a writer and poet traveling the states, living on the road out the back of a truck. If she thinks it, she'll prolly put it right here for the world to read.

simple pleasures in savannah

Train rats. in town. from all over.
for Savannah St. Patrick's.
traded 4dollar wal-mart shirt
for paint-chipped one.hitter.
perfect fist day as hobo.
More rats. Reynolds square.

selling energy bars for dogfood.
all coloured in the same greasy brown.
three dogs and dog bitten-snake.
Mandolin only having four strings
& a little blood on the neck
from
last nights busted finger.
snakes skin cool on mine
as she glides
lightly atop my shoulder.
We gave them a dollar and salute.


In between talking to train-rats and seeing the beauty Savannah GA had to offer during their St Pattie's Day celebration, I found Pulaski square and geeked out over the Polish name. In 1837 the square was named after the war hero, General Casimir Pulaski. Plus I love how my combat-boot clad feet and skull socks look in this pic.
