Carrie & Lowell

Carrie and Lowell

Such a long time ago

Like a dead horse

Meadowlark drive your arrow

Season of hope (after the flood)

Valentine, spurn my sorrow

Head on the floorboards (covered in blood)

Drunk as a horsefly

Climb on the mattress pad

Twist my arm

Under the pear tree

Shadows and light conspiring

Covered bridge, I scream

Cottage Grove shade invite me

I will bow down (Dido’s lament)

Lord of the ancient waters

From the backyard (as far as she went)

Carrie surprised me

Erebus on my back

My lucky charm

Carried by stones

Fairyland all around us

Like a dead horse

Sign of your children’s fever

Carrie, come home

(Thorazine’s friend)

Holding your hands with Opai

Like a dead horse

(Shall we ascend)

Flight of the mayfly

Ephemera on my back

She breaks my arm
