Almost Gone

Lucy Burns

Here in heaven
everybody had
just like that

lived in myth I
had illustrated
my life had

stayed on stayed years
in the neighborhood
walked as War-

hol walked before
Kansas City nights
before Eve

lived with me New
York actually a couple

of me showed up
and stayed true just stayed
strolling I

was residing
writing simply was
anywhere

in cut off jeans
on a train between
war candy

was so cool so
drunk gas pump drunk
almost a

heron landing
almost on
the sidewalk
