last night i slept with a strange man
he was older than me
he had thick busy hands
we crawled inside his bed
and we took off our clothes
we said nothing to each other
this house is our house, too
this is our house, too

and i will hunt you down
and i will build you a big big house
and we could sleep in the same bed
no one would have to know
you say: “what if people start talking?”
well, you could blame the mess on me
say you don’t know who you are
you say someday you’re gonna settle down
you’re not gonna live your whole life this way
but i have nothing to offer
except folding your shirts
i can’t litter your yard with babies teeth
our mattress is just a place to fuck and sleep
it’s so easy

hunting

you’re sweeping up the soldiers
and every song is thin
gather acorns for winter
so you know where you’ve been
but where you been, my old friend?
you’ve got rags and tears and tethers
you glued on your feathers
and you shift around like you haven’t slept in months
are you still sore about it?
grab your guns
we’re going hunting
it’s a long time coming

you blunt horses
you casper ghosts
your dust jackets
creased sheets cold
auburn wool pockets
carve blossom boats
simple sandpaper
cottered coats
and you became bones!
and my brothers will burst into baskets of orange fruit
and my sister will tame all the beasts she holds high
and my mother will break bricks to weather her windows
and my father will worry until he goes blind
and we all will sleep at the bottom of the river
and i’ll sing sonata, bring the frostbite, bury bones
i’ll call niagara, down the house lights, and stay home
stop your novels! catch a cold
stop your novels! dig your gold
