Think Of What You've Done

Heart to heart, dear, how I need you. Like the flowers need the dew. Lovin' you has been my life blood. I can't believe we're really through. . Is it true that I've lost you?.

The Ballad Of Davy Crockett

Born on a mountain in Tennessee. Greenest state in the land of the free. Raised in the woods so's he knew every tree. He killed him a b'ar when he was only three.

That S When I Knew

It wasn't when you walked out, wasn't when you said goodbye. It wasn't when I sat down and had myself a real good cry. Oh, it wasn't when I tore your picture from the frame.

The Incident At Condra's Switch

It happened on the railway, the NC and St "L",. On the branch line up to Pikeville, this story I will tell.. Postmaster on the Condra paid off his section gang,.

Tappan Zee

dear nanci. i am here. dear nanci. in your tappan oven. . burnt up like your cake. like your milk chocolate brownies. I am michael z.... in your tappan oven.

The Happy Hours

slow nights in rapid city. so bright the tiny stars. strobe lights twining. slow & pretty. in rapid city. . Darkly darkly the happy hours. sparklingly sparklingly the bar lights.

The Great Fires

How the spark loves the tinder. How the fuel the spark. How the night longs to not be so dark. . Such a lovely fire. Such a pretty light. All the things that we burned sure burned bright.

These Old Pictures

I found them Sunday morning in a bible by her bed. All laced between the pages full of scriptures Momma read. With each picture I would find a verse that she had underlined.

To My Poems

You led me into the trackless woods. My falling stars, my dark endeavor.. You were bitterness and lies, a bill of goods, a bribe. You weren't a consolation ever..

The Souls Of All My Dears

The souls of all my dears have flown to the stars. The souls of all my dears have flown to the stars. . Memory, your hour returns with each new year. I see, I hear, I touch you drawing near.

The Party's On

The Weight Of The World

Smoking down the track. I'm a fireball mill. Lord, coal's so black. Can't even see the rail. Followin' tongues of steel. Behind, I drive the wheel. Pulls the weight of the world.

The Traveling Kind

We don't all die young to save our spark. From the ravages of time. But the first and last to leave their mark. Someday become the traveling kind. . In the wind are names of poets past.

Talk Too Much

You talk too much, you talk too loud. and I don't like gangster funk. You ought a just go home and sleep it off. Cuz I think you're pretty god damn drunk..

Take Me To Heaven

Take me,take me. Come on and take me. . I've got you on my mind. Everybody's saying time. Take me,take me. Take me to heaven. . I dont know where you came from, no.
