Banshee Blues by Gillian Stone
In a county of ghosts, the burning terrain of founding Americana, she sees his shadow through the cinematic inferno. Their interactions are fraught with sinkholes and air poisoned by coal ignited for eternity.
In a woodland thicket now, shelter. Utopia lends itself to an uneasy dichotomy, a dialogue of difference. Under her breath, she curses the immovability of masculine creatures as she settles in for a pleasant nights sleep.
And then, in the city lights of Urbania, an argument. Two voices, back and forth, back and forth, a snake eating its tail and devouring itself whole. Sparring voices dissipate, and all that remains are herself and the truth. So she sings the blues.
