about

For my grandmother Virginia

lyrics

Comes the greening fresh as grief
Tinder twigs will spring to leaf
In your woods as May grows wetter
My heart longs to know you better

Show me where the bloodroot grow
How to find and not to touch
Moss to bind and leaves to know
One more spring, you left too much

Mysteries of seed and blood
Where he planted, how you stood
Roofs of pine against the weather
Porcupine and eagle feathers

Show me where the bloodroot grow
How to find and not to touch
Moss to bind and leaves to know
One more spring, you left too much

Cross the Flambeau porch lights burn
Farm names I have yet to learn
Buckthorn creeps in tangles near
Fences dropped by passing deer

Show me where the bloodroot grow
How to find and not to touch
Moss to bind and leaves to know
One more spring, you left too much

The geese returned a week ago
I dreamed your garden told me so
Come, leave your bitter love a while
And walk among the living, child
