Ron Rash Lost Poems

  • 1.
    The night Silas Broughton died
    neighbors at his bedside heard
    a dirge rising from high limbs
    in the nearby woods, and thought
    ...
  • 2.
    If they had hair it was gray,
    the backs of their hands wormy
    currents of blue veins, old men
    the undertaker believed
    ...
  • 3.
    Though cranes and bulldozers came,
    yanked free marble and creek stones
    like loose teeth, and then shovels
    unearthed coffins and Christ's
    ...
  • 4.
    The lost can stay lost down here,
    in laurel slicks, false-pathed caves.
    Too much too soon disappears.
