My Sister's Tiny Hands |
We came in this world together |
Legs wrapped around each other |
My cheek against my sister’s |
We were born like tangled vine |
We lived along the river |
Where the black clouds never lingered |
The sunlight spread like honey |
Through my sister’s tiny hands |
But while picking sour apples |
In the wild waving grasses |
Sister stumbled in the brier |
And was bitten by a snake |
Every creature casts a shadow |
Under the sun’s golden fingers |
And as the sun sinks past the waving grass |
Some shadows are dragged along |
So alone, I took to drinking |
Bottles of cheap whiskey |
And I staggered through the backwoods |
Killing snakes with a sharpened stick |
Oh, but still I heard her laughing |
In the wild waving grasses |
Still her tiny hands went splashing |
At the river’s sparkling shore |
So I took my rusty gas can |
And an old iron shovel |
And I set the woods to blaze |
And choked the river up with stones |
Every creature casts a shadow |
Under the sun’s golden fingers |
And as the sun sinks past the waving grass |
Some shadows are dragged along |
