Hollywood Hills Noir

Nature needs tending, or course

every few years the plates shift

the photogenic councilman is arrested

and somebody takes a fall

That's how i came here - by a calling

as surely as the devil herself

cloaked in the need to be seen

in filtered light

latticed with faultlines

and an underground whirlpool

as profligate as oil
