1880s

Source: music-ad-world on eBay

I sink in Past the cut-edges of straw under the machine-marked land of my fathers until the ocean’s voice only whispers I rise up The bones of old outhouses, barns buried under potato fields ghosts of wood and meat and bone. I soar away riding the wind on plucked wings, feathers stripped by song In language laid across my skin I sink in caress the loose stone foundations follow the groundwater to the source and stay Deep in the arms of the earth.

Dear Lucy, Arrived safe at 10.45 Thursday night Battalion is broke up and I do not know where I am going. I am not supposed to be writing this but I took a chance. Will write you a good long letter next time as soon as we get settled Yours Tom

I really hope Tom made it home and married Miss Lucy Howard, if she was his sweetheart...
