Winnie Jane
Pouring salt on slugs
in the rain
with a whooping cough
Winnie Jane, oh Winnie Jane
& on your coat:
Is it jam or blood?
Jam or blood
silence is the only sound
with which to describe the height of how
my heart does swoon
at the thought of you
Madrigal
in a wedding gown
rowboat red & a paper crown
Madrigal oh Madrigal
& on the lake:
Is it a swan or crane?
swan or crane
silence is the only sound
with which to describe the height of how
my heart does swoon at the thought of you
Adelaide
bee stings and stungs
marmalade on the ladder rung
Adelaide oh Adelaide
and in your bed:
Is it lust or love?
Lust or love
Clementine
in the river drowned
red with wine
in a baptist town
Clementine oh Clementine
for Heaven's Sake:
Were you lost or found?
Lost or found
Silence is the only sound
Silence is the only sound
