we came in this world together
legs wrapped around each other
my cheek against my sister's
we were born like tangled vine

we lived along the river
where the black clouds never lingered
the sunlight spread like honey
in my sister's tiny hands

but while picking sour apples
in the wild waving grasses
sister stumbled in the briar
and was bitten by a snake

every creature casts a shadowunder the sun's golden finger
but when the sun sinks past the waving grass
some shadows are dragged along

alone, I took to drinkingbottles of cheap whiskey
and staggering through the back woods
killing snakes with a sharpened stick

but still I heard her laughing
in those wild waving grasses
still her tiny hands went splashingat the river's sparkling shore

so I took my rusty gas can
and an old iron shovel
I set the woods to burning
and choked the river up with stones

every creature casts a shadowunder the sun's golden finger
but when the sun sinks past the waving grass
some shadows are dragged along

  • 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 Ground
    "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..."
  • 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 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..."
