down in the valley of hollow logs
two lovers lay in the weeds
safe in the net of their sweaty arms
safe from the wind in the trees

my love, said the boy, you're the clear blue sky
you're the air I gulp to breathe
I feel you rushing through my vein
like the wind rushing through the trees

my love, said the girl, you're my secret pearl
you're a string of tiny glass beads
you're a burning star I keep in a jar
safe from the wind in the trees

down in the valley of hollow logs
two lovers lay back in the weeds
listening to the howl of hunting dogs
and the wind howling through the trees

then insects ran for the underbrush
as the wind fills the air with dead leaves
and every stone moved closer to dust
as the wind tore through the trees

so the young girl pierced her lily-white breast
her blood poured over dark weeds
a silver dagger through her burning heart
cold as the wind in the trees

so the boy picked up the bloody knife
and stove it through the chest
farewell, farewell to the wind and the trees
I'll die with the one I love best

  • Bury Me Here
    "the Cathedral in Cologne looks like a spaceship
    like the hand of God falling from the sky
    a 1000 stone-carved saints hang like icicles
    but icicles don't take 1000 years to die..."
  • Cathedrals
    "I am not afraid when you call me down
    down the basement steps under the house
    down, down in the ground
    black cows are limping, the white dogs bark..."
  • Down in the Valley of Hollow Logs
    "there's a mountain north of Winnipeg
    buried under ice
    and as the black clouds roll above
    white pines crack like glass..."
  • I Fell
    "last night I went out walking
    out on the edge of town
    not going no place special
    only wandering around..."
  • Last Night I Went out Walking
    "my ghost drives around with a bag of dead fish
    falling neutrinos drift through the trees
    he staggers and reels, runs up credit card bills
    and clogs up the toilet with bottles of pills..."
  • My Ghost
    "we came in this world together
    legs wrapped around each other
    my cheek against my sister's
    we were born like tangled vine..."
  • My Sisters Tiny Hands
    "falling snow spun above the road
    winding through the dark woods
    where my pick-up stalled
    falling snow hissing through the air..."
  • Stalled
    "the giant of Illinois
    died from a blister on his toe
    after walking all day throughthe first winter's snow
    throwing bits of stale breadto the last speckled doves..."
