August of 89A cloudless, sunny, smoky sky
The smell of dust and burning pine,
The sting of sweat is in my eyes.
I taste my lips. They taste of brine.

I push my weight onto the spade
Then toss the earth upon the flames.
The trees still blazing up the slope
Send embers falling down like snow,

And starting fires under foot.
So we cut down every bush,
Thus leaving only empty earth,
Montana shale that cannot burn.

I look for smoke beyond the road
That leads back to my Grandpa's home.
I see the sky is clear that way
As I turn back with my spade.

Then on my back I feel a breeze,
And pause to breathe in sweet relief.
Again, I lean upon my spade

Ravens watch us walking slow
Your hair blows across your eyes
Intruders unwelcome in the snow
We could stay here all our lives

Your hair blows across your eyes
I reach to know you're near
We could stay here all our lives
And deny what I know I fear

I reach to know you're near
You beat me at the game
And deny what I know I fear
And tell me there's no pain

You beat me at the game
Ravens watch us walking slow
I tell you there's no pain
Intruders unwelcome in the snow.

 To save your pride your heart is stained
 Pick well the place to speak your mind
 The truth kills trust the lie maintained.

 To see the sun without the shade
 You take the risk that you'll be blind
 To save your pride your heart is stained

 While madness eats within your brain
 Faith betrayed by a world unkind
 The Truth Kills trust the lie maintained

 And dancing forward without refrain
 On a field you know has buried mines
 To save your pride your heart is stained.

 A secret's danger still remained
 For useful means the mean could find
 The truth k
