Letters to Sepia
Prison smells different when you laugh
Prison smells different when you laugh
tragedy strikes the exhausted soul who stops to rest
I could hear the shuffle of a spotted towhee
I fish them out every evening, lay them down
I grew up like a speeded prayer
Let your skin remember the path your ancestors carved in silence
Cattails spread across the old parking lot
i am clocked in for 30 minutes when i get the call
Dead boys wear sun-bleached keffiyehs on the walls of a stone city
the family who squatted between our house and the bog
