The Salt Trucks
James Monger
Car parts and creamed corn, Indian copper and raincoats
Calumet basements have old ghosts
Snowshoes and salt pork, blackberry brandy and old smoke
Red Jacket miners had sore throats
Sand the county lanes, bus is in the swamp
Daddy's sending in The Salt Trucks
Sand the county lanes, buried in the ground
Daddy's sending in The Salt Trucks
Opera house in flames, cigarettes and beer
Daddy's sending in The Salt Trucks
Opera house in flames, copper chandelier
Daddy's sending in The Salt Trucks
