Inhaltsangabe
Behind the Brick Pits Far Down in the Parched Hollows The Snake Spelled Plagued Him On the Spine of the Ridge I See He’s A Special Child, Miss Grown Little, Nine-Year-Old. Bledsoe Upset In Those Slow Autumns Harvest Paradox, Autumn’s Pilfer Pulp of Dying Mountain Town, Its Remnant Let Him Be Shut of Us, Lord He Walked Lonesome His Father Unlike His Father, Some Men In Years He Mended, Dusks Carry Me to the Doctor, Boy He Chose Silence Heart-Pound, Blood-Rush What They Told Me In Middle Age, Those First Leaf-strains Dear God of the Dead-Haunted Heart Nights He Moseyed through the House No Sheets. His Head Found His Father’s Rum Jug Once, When He Woke Before Dawn Death of An Orchard Spring Came, Winged Seeds To Wash Her. Up in the Dark Room, Her Body She Slept in Fits and Fever Then the World to Black Time to Leave You In the Keening House, in the Night’s Arc Went. Dusk Comes, Heat Stays, Still A Blackness Amplified, Greenness Insinuated Something Deep in Bledsoe’s Vitals They Find Him Near Noon ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
