Jesse, I m Coming to Know You


Jesse, I m coming to know you,
Better than ever before.
Danger and trouble are leaving our lives&
Children are crawling the floor.

Jesse, I m coming to know you,
You re drawing closer to me.
Finding a future and finding a farm
Thank God, we found Tennessee!

Sometimes at night when I m sleeping,
Nightmares, they enter my head.
Hear people shooting and dying&
Wake up so safe in our bed.

Jesse, I m coming to know you,
Even though we ve changed our names.
Worth it to find a new life full of peace
They ll never catch Jesse James.

Not while you re holding me
In Tennessee& &
1984

Lamia

The lady bade me linger for awhile Beside the cypress in the burying-yard. She fetched me to a graveside with her smile And set me on a marker cold and hard. She smiled. It all comes down to this, you know, That kings and merchants, each the same, Will sleep as brothers is a marble row Till mosses blanket over each proud name. I shivered mid-November air breathed chill And I looked down at my watch. The hour was late. I said, However much I d like to listen still, My appointment scheduled in the village cannot wait. She smiled and begged my pocket-knife from me, Then carved my name upon the cypress tree. 12-10-90 (04-18-80 Lamia)
