Cornhuskers/Haunts

HAUNTS

There are places I go when I am strong.

One is a marsh pool where I used to go

with a long-ear hound-dog.

One is a wild crabapple tree; I was there

a moonlight night with a girl.

The dog is gone; the girl is gone; I go to these

places when there is no other place to go.
