From: unpublished, 1999.
Old momma teach me moonlight
Old momma teach me skin
Old momma teach me timing
When the ocean crashes in
And momma teach me heartland
And teach me highway fear
Old momma teach me hunger
At the turning of the year
Old momma teach me nerve ends
Made of juniper and bone
Old momma teach me homing
To the certainty of stone.
