Poem: Last Night

5/30/2016

Last Night

By Jack K. Lavaughnti
QuailBellMagazine.com

I close my eyes and
the blue and red spots
morph into a grip tighter
than any drug addiction

I dream of a singer with a large mane,
who paints bedrooms with the dark hues
of his melodic moans
His opiate eyes draw me downtown
and his soul casts a shadow
over the black bedsheets and mahogany,
all shrouded under clouds of diesel-scented smoke

My bare skin feels the cold kisses
from his leather and tresses
and tingles from his soft caresses

His lyrics linger in my hair
and his vocal cords vibrate
on my neck, like wicked bass lines
as he whispers, “You’re mine’s”

But the emptiness in his icy voice
shatters my heart as he adds,
“Only on Thursdays”

I open my eyes and
the bright colors of reality
depress me as I wish
to sleep forever with
dreams of him

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.
