Sept. 6, 1912
 
 
 
Did the wood bleed
Or stones scream?
Did the river flow backward
And toss its fish onto its banks?
Did the stars melt
Or the sun shatter?
Did red clouds billow up
And drown the valley in blood?
 
They should have, dear,
They should have.
 
Did the soldiers impale themselves
On a single blade of grass?
Did an army of skeletons
March out of the desert?
 
They should have, dear,
They should have.
 
The townsfolk crowded the streets,
Crowded the church,
Crowded the cemetery.
People cried out:
Glover is gone
Glover is gone.
