Pokeberry Letter is a love ballad with battlefield urgency accompanied by Daniel "Mudcat" Dudeck's evocative slide guitar and Wendy Dumond's haunting harmony.

Lyrics: Oh my Dearest One/ I'm gonna write you a letter/ In pokeberry juice that Southern heat induced/ Blood red pokeberry juice, uh huh/

I squeezed it from the pokeberry/ Put it in a crimson jar/ Now I’m gonna write that letter/ And send it from afar, uh huh/

In the grove — a Civil War/ Between the North and South/ My heart and head torn asunder/ Love’s a battlefield and I'm going under/

There’s a battle to storm the fort/ Who’s winning or falling short/ Either way there’s fatalities/ Arrows to the heart injuries, uh huh/

All the things I want to say/ I’ve laid it all bare on the page/ Each and every word’s a berry stain/ But I can no longer refrain/ I love you, there I said it, I love you/

Yours, I remain,/ Yours yours yours/
