Takes too long to breathe

[NakedBear]

I've read this a few times; it's pretty interesting. But the scene of action seems to move back and forward between little river and foxtail, which causes me some confusion.

So, is foxtail maybe a bridge, which Danny missed when drunk, causing him to go to the river and drown, thus causing the narrator to be angry and regretful? Cause that's my current reading. Oh, and I get the sense that Danny had had an emotional break and off'd himself.

If you blinked
you'd pass it,
but Danny knew that

Danny was a fool,
he would sing to me
at little river, just after
the washboard I''m not sure what washboard is referring to. Since you mention singing, maybe an instrument. But I don't think so. I take it as the bumpy part of the road/path that has been damaged by flowing water

He was damaged and laughed
in the drunk mans grapes
we ran through to get there

The stars
would stay out all night for us
at truck stop and foxtail;
walking upside down across the sky

We hit it too hard
at little river, his eyes
went fix and swilled over me

We set the sky ablaze in orange and red,
white hot
across the fields at foxtail Last stanza was at little river, and this is at foxtail. Two stanza below and we're back at little river. What?

I blinked,
but Danny knew that

I chase his embers in my dreams, like fireflies
but I didn't know
I would hate him so much
for washing up at little river

Like I said, the exact details are not clear to me, but the delivery is pleasant and I grasp enough to think that Danny departed.

Thanks for the read.
