Voodoo Rue's Life Bytes. Every Day Should Be an Adventure. Monday, January 13, 2014. Some Words for 2014. I’ve many times been asked, “Why did you move to New Orleans? I answer, “I moved here to write.”. I’m asked, “What do you write? And that is where I falter. I know what I used to. Write Blogs, poetry, sometimes short stories. But then I stopped. This week I’ve been doing some painful introspection, and I’ve come to some enlightening, albeit very harsh, self-realizations. So I’m not going to say...

Voodoo Rue's Life Bytes: Mardi Gras in Exile
http://voodoorue.blogspot.com/2015/02/mardi-gras-in-exile.html
Voodoo Rue's Life Bytes. Every Day Should Be an Adventure. Monday, February 16, 2015. Mardi Gras in Exile. If I leapt open and fearless. In front of a subway train today. I'm fairly certain the the stain. That's the color of my blood. T hat or Mississippi mud. O r the deep sunset gloom. Of an algae-tinted bayou. Where I go to find myself. But nothing finds me here. There are no brass bands. Or seconds lines for lost. Poet girls who've gone. Searching for their words. When some soulful Southern boy.

I have no defense against. A trumpet that rages. From tender to tempest. In the blink of an eye. And I can't tell. If those brass bends. Are filled with heaven. What kind of grace. Does it take to blow. That tempt and forgive. And tease and lay bare all. Of a single note. It's more than just a show. View my complete profile.
