Detail-Towards the River
Towards the River
By Zac Stafford
The courting she said
was more like a fitting for a saddle
than anything resembling love
Nobody laughs at the truth anymore
Then again they said
Thats what you get when you use the bible to stop your bed
They said at night she closed her eyes and
raced breakneck across the moon stained field behind the barn towards the river
Towards a little salvation
They said her hair streamed behind her like coal black wings
heaving with copper
Anyone looking with more than their mouths
knew she flew not towards anything
