Blue Norther
If I saw you now
blue-sudden as a Norther
borrowed cherokee hair gone snowy
wolfhound jaw locked against
the puzzle in your buckshot eyes
would it be as it was, hard with
would it be as it was, hard with
love and leaving,
full of the boy who wasn't ours,
of jaguar ghosts, bankrupt sacrifice;
an emptying out, a fumbled
passing on?
an emptying out, a fumbled
passing on?
