Poetry, Prose and Lyrics
I've lived in various Dallas suburbs since moving here from rural East Texas back in the 80's. So, I identify as a Neosuburban.
This section contains words that I wrote down in a particular pattern that will speak to you in a unique and beautiful way. Or not.
Rebecca Marguerite Birmingham Montgomery from Atlanta, Texas. Go Rabbits!
Currently residing in the beautiful city of Richardson, Texas
Neosuburban
A Circling Spin
Of Directionless Wind
Kaleidoscope Symmetries
Let’s get away from here
And leave all the baggage behind
Get In a driverless car
And see how far
We can go
To the next town
Or to the edge of the universe
We’ll be together
Thru shadowless meadows
To the places of dreams
Filled with countless possibilities
Kaleidoscope Symmetries
Of Love and Life and
You and me
Breaking the Chains
Of the ghosts
Of Calamity
Ark La Tex
I was born in the Unholy Trinity
Of Arkansas, Louisiana and Texas
I learned about Sin in Sunday School
Some lessons I learned the hard way
Sometimes it’s not enough to seek forgiveness
Sometimes it’s not enough to pray
I don’t know where I’m going….
But I do know where I'm from……
Black Bayous
Black Magic
And……………… Miracle…………… Whip
Of Red Dirt
White Trash
Grey Spanish Moss
Gothic
Hidden Secrets
In Ancient Lakes
From Tall Pine Trees
Evergreen
In Thick Woods
Virgin Soil
Untouched by man or woman
Like a forest astronaut
Bad Weather Girl
I can blow into your life
With very little warning
Drought by night
Or Flood by morning
I’m a Texas Sized Tornado
Don’t Mess with me
I’m a bad weather girl
A Southern Banshee
Hurricane winds
Don't really matter
I can sink your ship
I’m a Natural Disaster
A wildfire feeding on
The dust of your soul
I’m a bad weather girl
And I’m on a roll
Far Away Here
I see the air
I feel the light
I touch the sky
With you tonight
I walk on water
I breathe your skin
I dance on cliffs
Beginning to end
I hold you close
In a distant way
Like an orbiting planet
Or
A castaway
A quiet despair
A knowing fear
To let love in
Then disappear
I invent conversations
To feed my delusions
I dream of words
With no translations
I wish for love
On moonless nights
Dark is the color
Of my soul in flight
Warm is the thought
Of you tonight
