Chalk River from Revenge EP by two crosses

when we stopped we killed the engine, we shook
dust from our hair tossed our bones from the car.
when we got out we threw stones at the church
broke the windows, knew that we could sleep there.

from the pulpit we could see the half-light
that thick glow from the reactor, blooming.
yeah we knew that we were dead and gone then
hands together in chalk river, buried.

the pressure built around us as the storm came
you were glowing in the gray
the tremor made the highway crack and break
you held my hair, i dug our graves

all our lives we both imagined we’d live
by the lakeside with the sharp rocks plunging
into dark and undisturbed black water,
growing old and picking sage in springtime.
