B-side of Your Cheating Heart


Kaw-liga

In the end you dreamed of slipping back to
the woods, cone and needle a comfort, stars
tilting overhead in deep frictionless
grooves, chisel and gouge spicy talismans
in harrowing hillbilly creation
myth; yet you were pierced straight through the heart, his
keening blade, your name carved high and lonesome.
