• Poem: Acid-dyed, linen blue
  Don’t know who cried for you
  When they put you in the ground
  
  Crows alight, clothesline sway
  Not today, not today
  You never made a sound
  
  Bleached in sun, kettle’s done
  Lost all that you had found
  You never told anyone
  Of your secret hymns
  Of your bound limbs
  Or of taking the long way around
  
  Dog’s maw, crow’s caw
  Deer’s leg bone to gnaw
  They didn’t find your words profound
  
  Acid-dyed the linen blue
  Never know if it was true
  Crows and clothes on your burial mound,
  And only the dogs to cry for you
