1302

left glove on the plow
frozen in a grip
right glove
under a bird
frozen in a nest

two boots by the stove
that was something to know

straw pillow
straw to rest
straw to feed

the boys said ma
and she
discovered what she
wanted to find

he
wide awake
paid no mind
took the stray cow to watch
the trains leave at quarter
to ten

a little bit of an impostor
with a flat hat
and a quick lip
something he couldn’t help
no matter if we
thought it odd

we had the rambling blues
stuck in our little cabin
stuck to each other
busy keeping
each other ours
