the woods


I could live with just diner food, and smoke, and the woods,
and old men who shut their fucking mouths for once.
Transformative sunrises and sunsets and starscapes,
Ghost stories, and only moderately tainted ground water.
It's a lot to ask for, a big dream that outlives us every time
but dies in the shadow of bad medicine, greened copper, loud voices but no one to hear you scream.
Somewhere I heard that a bard born to a family of farmers will become a magician
and I say it when I don't want anyone to follow me.
