A long time ago I lived
in a house with a man
who was being hunted.
When shots came
through the window
he led me upstairs.
In our house
many doors deep
we took the augur herb.
I saw my skeleton
wearing my shadow
come out of me.
Her huge skull
moved slowly on her neck
as she turned.
She told me
it's only starting
to get bad.
I was so glad
to feel his skin
when we woke up.
We went downstairs
for a bowl of onions
in a sweet sauce.
He told me
to keep my mouth full
when running.
My mouth full of salt
the shots rang
behind me as I ran.
In maple trees arching
I ran in my skeleton
and on my shadow.
He will feed me blueberries
on our wedding day.
