“She couldn't bear for any of us to do anything she couldn't”

Caddy smelled like trees

She became all wet and muddy behind, and

I couldn’t smell the trees anymore

Caddy put her arms around me, in her shining veil

I couldn't smell trees anymore and I began to cry

I lay on the floor, crying. 

It’s broke now

 She cost me a job,

The once chance I ever had to get ahead

It’s broke now

The smell of honeysuckle was upon her face and throat

Dalton Ames, Dalton Ames

Better to have committed incest

Or to have held the point of the knife at her throat

When He said Rise only the flat irons rose.

This family, it’s bad enough, God knows

She didn’t even have enough consideration for us

Until there was nothing left but

The fallen ruins of us
