Down by Okkervil | |
River slow silent thick and black, | |
I stared into the water, and the water it stared back. | |
The night it fell from tangles of the branches on the shore as it had on | |
Okkervil River before. | |
Down by Okkervil | |
River’s cigarettes and rusty tires, we made ourselves an altar, we lit our nightly fires. | |
And the smoke lay thick and smothered all the skunk cabbage and vines where | |
Gods were born and | |
Gods lay down to die. | |
With your hand inside my pocket, you whispered in my ear “ | |
We have come from ugliness to find some refuge here. | |
With this bracken for a blanket, where these limbs stick out like bones, we have found a place where we can be alone.” | |
And I tried to tell you, as | |
I kissed your hard dry lips, all the things | |
I dreamed about. | |
I touched your bone white hips. | |
Far away our parents slept in while we watched our fire burn. | |
They dreamed of nothing and got nothing in return. | |
And the water slipped on slowly past our bodies in the weeds, pulling plastic wrap and razors on its current through the reeds. | |
Then I woke up one cold morning, felt an absence at my back, and | |
I searched and stared but only the river stared |
