Last time you said there’s cabins north
nowhere near water or
heaven, or me –
Ever hear of the Boundary Waters
Lake of the Woods
Lake Winnibigoshish
Child Lake Lake Watch Me Do a Flip
You Can’t Make Me Lake
Lake Looks Like a Lady
Grave Lake Holy Name Lake
Ice Cracking Lake Big
Too Much Lake
Lake of Fire
Like My Back Door?
I’m still training
in the Lord’s Army,
and if I drown
out,
You won’t
get a postcard –
not from me.
