I Fell

There's a mountain north of Winnipeg

Buried under ice

And as the black clouds roll above

White pines crack like glass

Walking under those swaying trees

Branches bowed with ice

I wanted one to fall on me

To pin me in the snow

That silver forest reminded me of you

And how I kissed you

And I fell down to the bottom of a well

Down a dirt road west of El Paso

Behind a burning barn

I stumbled on a horse's bone

Bleaching in the sand

But when I reached down to touch the skull

Underneath my hand

A stream of orange lizards poured out

From the bone-white mouth

That empty mouth reminded me of you

And how I kissed you

And I fell down to the bottom of a well
