Garland Ranch Song by David Marsh I'll be with you In fairy lantern Bobcat time. Bobcat saw-me and danced In fiddleneck field. Bobcats leave scat Saying I danced here Full moon last night. Once was watched By bored bobcat Who did a sultry tango Atop an alluvium bank. When I die I'll be cremated And scattered at Garland Some small shard of me End up in the hot belly bobcat In Bloomeria blossom time.

Let's fight their fascism with radical beauty 🌸
