A dame for your dollar, watch Mary go ‘round
The Lone Fir, the stones, and the dead
aware as she passes old Valentine Brown
of the host of ghosts under their beds
A dance for your dollar in shade if you would
a twirl through the tombs she is possessed
with lively confessions the late tell the tale
to the one who lives close to her chest
A toast to the twilight two drinks in our hands
as we reach for the river, the shore, and then comes the toast
to what’s certainly the host of no uncertainty anymore…
