Austin Texas Tower Shooting – 1966 and Now.

Poem in memory of the shooting

Austin City Limits

Nightlights along the river


Heat rises from the pavement


Strumming guitars


Beats over microphones


Tower in the background


Try not to remember


Bullets raining down


The summer of ‘66


Just missed me


Didn’t miss another


Mother to be


Steel penetrated belly


Taking that life yet unborn


Try to forget


Austin City Limits.
