lyrics

The dead know only the smell of trees
found near their own towns,

hazel and ash.
Or the smell of wood, which rises in smoke,

dry as the earth,
where they must stay, resolved,

like hazel, like ash. A goat with black eyes
bending to drink from a bucket

beside the well.
The water in the bucket.

When did the grass grow thick
with mint? When did we think to build

this fence?
Why was this soil no good for us?
