Seminole Avenue (Slight Return)

Seminole Avenue (Slight Return)

I was walking down Seminole Avenue
admiring the octagon shaped slabs of concrete.
I felt the words that called me away.
Seeing mostly strangers
until I saw that red haired girl
smiling at me.

Seminole Avenue

Seminole Avenue

Plucked in the green
by the brook of silverly water.
I see the recreation in progress
and the interest of thieves.
I feel the words
they call me away.
Seeing mostly strangers
but there was that red haired girl
with dirty feet
and her incredibly lanky legs.
I was walking down Seminole Avenue
admiring the octagon shaped
slabs of concrete.

Galatea

Galatea

Longing here in the rain
for the blood of Christ
to flow in my veins.
Somehow I suspect that it doesn't.
I'm lost
and I pray I can escape.
Galatea is gone
does she know what I must do
is this why she is gone?

-Will Dockery (1980)
