Directions to My House

Take a right at the light that hangs low

On the street with the run down churches

Like a row of coffin womb-breakers

Then you drive on the road that leads through

The empty town in the cold of the north

Where the snow falls like bubbles from the dead

Then dig holes at the end of the road

When you find dried white bones near the house

That is still and is white you will know

You have found where I lived when I died.
