We can never be with loss too long.
Behind the warped door that sticks,
the wood thrush calls to the monks,
pausing atop the stone crucifice,
singing: “I am marvelous alone!”
Thrash, thrash goes the hayfield:
rows of marrow and bone undone.
The horizon’s flashing fastens tight,
sealing the blue hills with vermillion.
Moss dyes a squirrel’s skull green.
The cemetery expands its borders —
little milky crosses grow like teeth.
How kind time is, altering space
so nothing stays wrong: and light,
more new light, always arrives.
Stunner, baby, you are stunner, stunner, baby (What?)
Stunner, baby, you are stunner, stunner, baby (You are stunner, stunner, baby)
Yeah, stunner, stunner
Yeah, stunner, you are stunner
