Poetry By Larry Beckett

lyrics

Dreamboat

I recollect a poker hand
like bourbon over ice;
you rode me home in your mama's car
that night of mysteries.
White stars were falling in the air,
the harbor under snow;
and there she lay, her anchor down,
the dreamboat.

I sang ballads in books of matches
all eighty-one alone
till like the new year you hauled in
salvation from the east.
Oh and too soon the sky was red,
I heard a whistle blow:
she was steaming out into the dark,
the dreamboat.

The days stack up like sailor's mail,
the weather's fair for now;
I walk down to the waterfront,
a barge is sliding by.
I hang on to an image in
the absurd foam below:
roll back before it all dissolves,
oh dreamboat.

Poetry By Larry Beckett
