lyrics

the plot has been overgrown since the last good rain

visited fractured pottery to the grave

just the size of a posthole will do: le petit mort

if there is a sheet of fog, it is a fleece, it is a circling flock
the night comes as a flag of crepe waving us down

down fills the finest pillow, you said, wiseacre

wiseacre, I said, because I didn’t yet know its root

you said you’d take care of everything, as if
the very wish to be an umbrella could expand

first: you need a good haircut and a shave

second: what were we going to tend if not ourselves
not children. adopt-a-highway. a home for wayward beagles
water the plants, I said, water the damned plants
well, you did manage to water the plants
