Resurrection Fern |
In our days we will live like our ghosts will live |
Pitching glass at the cornfield crows and folding clothes |
Like stubborn boys across the road, we’ll keep everything |
Grandma’s gun and the black bear claw that took her dog |
And when sister Lowery says amen, we won’t hear anything |
The ten-car train will take that word, that fledgling bird |
And the fallen house across the way, it’ll keep everything |
The baby’s breath, our bravery wasted and our shame |
And we’ll undress beside the ashes of the fire |
Both our tender bellies wound in baling wire |
All the more a pair of underwater pearls |
Than the oak tree and its resurrection fern |
In our days we will say what our ghosts will say |
We gave the world what it saw fit and what’d we get? |
Like stubborn boys with big green eyes, we’ll see everything |
In the timid shade of the autumn leaves and the buzzard’s wing |
And we’ll undress beside the ashes of the fire |
Our tender bellies all wound around in baling wire |
All the more a pair of underwater pearls |
Than the oak tree and its resurrection fern |
