Silent Woods

Silent Woods
When he came it was through a crack in the ceiling
Held in place
Like head unglue contracted and…
She held him, close to her
He looked like Jesus
Come again
Like daughters blazing on either side
Think of this
And figure in and dream a far-off distant day
Music Chorus
When we leave her house
We will slam the screen door
And leave the place as empty
As it was before
Silent woods, silent woods
Forever frame her hand
Silent woods, silent woods
Curve around her…
And there he hangs in her place
Above every doorway
And laundry is heavy is on her mind
And that’s where it will stay
Silent woods, silent woods
Forever frame her hand
Silent woods, silent woods
Curve around her…
