Bonedust In The Wind

Horseflesh and tumbleweed tea
cold iron drawn
in colder knuckles

The sounds of the silenced never quite the same

We open bottles of firewarter and bloodburbon
we dance like dying snakes in the dust
all to the lawless deathfarts
of the hanging

This is the frontier
(This is home)
