Perhaps this is a little like talking music.

One way to sing, if you can't sing, is to talk the song in rhythmn--------had an intro to this technique by a guitar player and singer in Nebraska years ago. (Finally gave up the guitar---not my instrument.)

This may mean nothing except to the people who were there. You can see where "there" is by carefully reading this: amazon.com

Moon Saddle Cabin

Stop here, he said
It’s not far
He led the three dreamers
Right to it
Crushed by tree fall
And crumbled by time
The ax work remained unmistakably his
Each corner notch
Each shake, each nail
A testament to the man
An artifact of his skill

Spirits arose out of the rubble
A rusty cook pot
And other ghosts
Sending memories to the man
And shivers up the spines
Of the three dreamers

They tarried awhile
Imagining what happened here
Those seven decades ago
Reluctantly, the spirits settled
Back down into the cabin ruins
As its creator and the three dreamers
Tore themselves away

For Bud
