Now You Wear Your Skin Like Iron

Emmylou Harris: Pancho and Lefty

Once upon a time
there was
a dwarf knight
who only had
fifty words
to live in
and they were
so fleeting
that he
only had time
to put on
a suit of armor
and ride swiftly
on a black horse
into a very
well-lit woods
where he
vanished forever.
