Greenspring Valley Road
Bucks and doe
Bucks an doe
BucKs and Does
All strewn bouT dead
All along broke curve spine
Greenspring Valley Road

Bus Blues
Tha green bus
bursing a bust
those green
green flames
drives by
ever nights
that is the throttle of every
nightly
into them shadow eyes
tween trees
--shadow teeth
some be sharp
some be dull
Hear that country song?
Who put that piddle
in dipping ghost pond?
When i was a boy
fingers bleed
both hands
and the moon was just a flashlight
cop looking for every bit of
squirrel bone stew
wait a minute of a spinter
....especially the left, that is the hands..
I just don't ask enough of tha
right questions.
I hear that green guitar burst into
green flames...
the river be green two ...
I got two left hands
the devil has two left hands...
leave me alone in my rockin chair
night be dark and chilly ....
darkly
flames though
and then someone else
be the mirror.
