there was a man who used to live by the ocean but he never set foot in the sea it made him nervous that the water was always in motion and he feared the creatures who swam beneath and when i asked him how he’d ended up there above a world he would never know he said he’d driven all the way across america and when he got to the edge there was nowhere left to go nowhere left to go he said that nothing lives long, only the earth and the mountains as he quoted black kettle’s death song the words drifting off into the emptiness of this great land where we’ve never belonged and while the frontiers are ever-expanding our living rooms fall into disarray and no one seems interested in fixing what they’ve broken they just sweep the pieces into the bushes and slip away and slowly slip away and now he and i watch the foxglove grow through the clearcut where a forest once grew high and wild for what is a funeral without flowers and ten thousand tombstones reaching for the sky reaching for the sky

take a picture to remember this by you’ll never hold all the details in your mind fillin’ your head with superfluous facts pushin’ out what you’re never getting back and all that’s left is a version of the truth a recollection that is often misconstrued sergeant pepper with the faces of friends but the names all elude you in the end kiss me just this one last time tell me that you once were mine take a picture to remember me by to show everybody who you left behind the near miss that almost shot you out of the blue i was a city you were only passing through and all that’s left is a version of events favorably framed for the sake of self-defense we barely notice as the pages disappear floating off into another year kiss me just this one last time tell me that you once were mine kiss me just this one last time show me that your love was mine
