Song for David Berman

they closed the road to laramie
slowly it came rain then snow then ice
I killed my engine and paced outside,
out in the soft gray light

no turning back

I called my doctor on his cell
the call went straight to voicemail

I thought of you

when I was stung by a scorpion
you crushed up some tobacco leaf for me
pulled out from your red man pouch
the sioux had taught you all you knew

I do believe it's true

they cut you down with a single shell
a Winchester "double l"
your switchblade fell and caught the light
massacres are disguised as battles all the time

I do believe it's true
