Sanoja: Mountain Goats, The. Going To Spirit Lake.

why did you say what you said when the hummingbird vanished from sight?

a sudden, swelling heat in the dark october night.

you laughed and your eyes were alive,

and i knew that the moment had finally arrived.

and i reached out and held for your hand and held on tight.

you said the right thing.

you fixed everything

as the stars formed a canopy over spirit lake.

you said what you said.

the stars grew softer overhead.

i was on fire.

i was on fire for you.
