Call and Response: Day 19: Chez Renee



Chez Renee, Santa Fe, 2010

Horsemen and demons once cruised this strip
Two drive-ins, low headlights, the height of a night out make out

Saints and sinners knew the view clear as starlight blinking
Endlessly over black light, night fields, off toward Albuquerque

But now beloved art deco neon's nothing but a rusted book
Bible of missing capital 'C' and the shadow of a lower case 'e'

Ghost of Chez Renee where the candlelight was dim and authentic
And a woman and man could be heard humming along
to any old tune.
