way back in the woods
in the center of a tall grass meadow
ramshackle shack
long abandoned
rusted stove, ratted mattress
each time i am here
i see
the ghost of brautigan
slouched in the doorway, funny hat
chewing on a pink chunk
of watermelon sugar

I love the imagery of this, Luther. I can taste it.
