In No PlaceShane McCraeAnd we divorced in any anyhow / But sudden anyhow but hurry we / Divorced in sudden hurry the affair / Become the main thing don't want to be mar- / ried still become the main thing anyhow Already sit and don't go out in an- / y sudden every sudden thing and we In any hurry turn to salt and break / The farther I run far from you the less / I feel my own body and turn to salt / and break and hurry have to get now back / Home to Chicago every sudden thing / Marries already there's no money left And we divorced in anyhow the eyes Except the eyes eyes turn to lime- stone in their sockets and the eyes go also numb / And any hurry hurries home and once I had a lover and a lover and a fine Lover I had a lover and she was mine As lost as sudden suddenly The woods behind my house are trees In no place every time I touch you I feel less Of my own body fingertips and wrists / Elbows and shoulders strange to feel the numb- / ness as a tingling as an extra burst Of life to signal something dying hur- / ry the affair become the main thing hur- ry any anyhow become your home Is anyhow your home and have you ever had another / And wander through the woods and make the forts / Made of stripped trees my forts / As sure as my body is mine as sure The trees would either way bend but to strip them first Is mine if I am in it is / And have I have I ever ever have Is anyhow my home and have I ever / And have I ever every sudden thing In every sudden thing I look for you And that is how I look for you Bend but to strip them ladders hanging from the trees But first we had to choose the tree and clear the hives / From the tree but first we had to climb Shana McCrae Read Bio Author Discusses Poems |
