Forthright

Vic Chesnutt

Looking
In the hourglass
Ants
In the sand
Reflected
In the oil lamp
I can see the wrinkles
In your hand

You can be
forthright with me
You can be
Forthright with me

Next to
The pot-bellied stove
Hand
On the flue
Photograph
On the rolltop desk
Is
It of you?

You can be
Forthright with me
You can be
Forthright with me

Half a pound
Of hominy
Soaking
In a wooden bowl
Underneath
The cheesecloth
In
The safehold

You can be
Forthright with me
You can be
Forthright with me
