Wallowa Lake Monster |
As if you know the story of Wallowa Lake: |
Leviathan first hid in the deep where her children sleep |
She kept them hidden from the plague |
But have you heard the story of my mother’s fate? |
She left us in Detroit in the rain with a pillowcase |
Fortune for the paperweight |
We followed her to Joseph, near the Indian raid |
She wept among the weeds, hide and seek, for the fallen chief |
Spathiphyllum on his grave |
And like the cedar waxwing, she was drunk all day |
We put her in the sheet, little wreath, candles on the crate |
As the monster showed its face |
As she waits for her children in the shade |
Demogorgon or demigod the ghost parade |
No oblation will bring her back to our place |
She stayed within the deep end of Wallowa Lake |
The undertow refrained with the flame of a feathered snake |
Charybdis in its shallow grave |
She gave us one last feature, the fullness of her face |
In the shade of «Hin-mah-too-yah…», Red Napoleon |
As the demon took her place |
As we wait for the waters to reside |
Her remarkable stoicism and her pride |
When the dragon submerged we knew she had died |
