Coeur d'Alene

Slowly the summer evening dies

over the hill beyond the lake.

Suicide is too sudden.

The moon is fishing the ripples

on the lake; my soul fights

to shake the hook.

How enlightening the deep darkness.

My tombstone stands among the grass

upon the hill.

How quickly you resurrect me.
