The Night We Met

The band’s founder is a Michigan native. And the band’s name Lord Huron is inspired by Lake Huron (one of the Great Lakes). The Night We Met

Shipwrecks

below the ice

in winter

down in the cold gray storm

are the whitefish

alone

in darkness they list

shift weight by the bone

the captains on long ships

Horses

Someone let go of the reins

and just like that

they were lost.

 

We had always dreamed of horses.

 

We wandered the woods

all winter

looking.

 

We found them in the spring.

 

Half dead was the horse

that didn’t shed his saddle.

 

Someone could have stitched the sores.

Those people.

A vet.

Somebody.

But instead, they shot him.

Just like that.
