Love Sky

In 1945

A Jewish baby was born

In East Van Nuys

Her lonely eyes

Filled with the poetry born

Of suicide

Haldol and ECT

She met her end in a trailer

Near the sea

200 Klonapines

Just hoping that she could find

Some sweet relief

Old Cerwin Vegas

Maruchan and diesel fumes

Stacks of containers

The shipyards in the afternoon

Desert winds blowing

Out to Catalina soon

Long Beach to Vernon

Mexicans and hazy noons

You are my baby

You’re my only baby
