At the Barricade

A limited edition collection of photographs and poetry inspired by
San Francisco Bay Area live music venues.

Packed in the Fillmore, hordes of t-shirts, no
signs of color just shades of ebony.
Crushed bodies at the barricade below,
my refuge above in the balcony…

From “At the Barricade” by james c. morehead
