Beat Eve in New Orleans


I’m curled up on the floor of some little shotgun flat in New Orleans, feeling beat as fuck. Miles Davis is blowing hauntingly through the soft room, and some wild visions of a silver vapor woman dance before my aching eyes. She’s singing that she’s too wonderful to die. A train horn blows deep and sad in the distant sweaty cool night. Did that train come from Texas? I feel like it might have. I’m here to write, I remember, and put fingers to keys, hoping that gone Italian chick in the city of dreams doesn’t forget me.

God I can’t wait to get back and kiss the earth of that wonderful place.
