Poem + Collage: Kalispell

10/24/2014

Kalispell

By Alexander C. Kafka
QuailBellMagazine.com

been just three weeks
but it's sheer hell
since I left you
in Kalispell

no party laugh
no spirit's gristle
will spur me through
this urban thistle

crazy corners
and scuzzy bars
starched impatience
scuffed guitars

sing my songs
and strike my chords
to clueless throngs
all looking bored

no horses here
no hills to hug
no camping gear
no threadbare rug

your flesh in rose
tequila neat
your muscles taut
your tongue in heat

love songs wasted
on passions spent
you spun me out
so there I went

sad young woman
with wastrel's eyes
darts round this city
in disguise

a loner just
'cause she's alone
no pride nor trespass
to atone

distrust, disdain
your favor turned
a cold fall's rain
to seal the burn

what did I say
or do or see
to make you turn
your back on me?

you come on tough
but were you scared
by all that soul stuff
that we bared?

been just three weeks--
time's fetid well--
hope new love comes
to Kalispell

How to Setup Solar

Step 1. Create a Homepage

Even if you already have a home page, you'll need to create a new one since Solar needs a blank page to automatically pull and display your blog posts in the magazine layout. You can create a new homepage by going to "Pages" at the top, click on the "+" icon and select "Standard" page.

Step 2. Apply "solar" Page Layout

Once you create a new homepage, apply the "solar" page layout to the new homepage. You can do this by clicking on "Pages" at the top, select the homepage on the left, and under "HEADER TYPE", select "solar".

Step 3. Create A Blog

If your site doesn't have a Weebly "Blog" page, then create a new "Blog" page. You can do this by clicking on "Pages" at the top, click on the "+" icon and select "Blog Page".

Step 4. Setup Blog Automation

Come back to this screen and fill in the input boxes with the URL of your "Blog" page and 3 category URLs from that blog.
