In 1928 Glen and Bessie met their fate from Twin Falls down the Colorado In a handmade canoe, what happened to these two is up to who you ask but full of sorrow. It took twenty six full days to find the heart of the maze, deep in the canyon they were swallowed. He dragged his new wife through his treacherous life For cheap thrills he took their tomorrows Did you make it, did you make it, did you make it on your own? Or did you fake it, fake it, leave someone else’s bones? They were last seen alive by Emery Kolb who lived alone in the canyon. He put ‘em up for the night, warmed ‘em up by the stove saying “At least let me save your companion.” The years flew by and Kolb passed on, they found some bones in his boathouse. A bullet in the skull from another dawn under the piles of his photos. Did you make it, did you make it, did you make it on your own? Or did you fake it, fake it, leave someone else’s bones? Someone else bones? "This boat looks like a coffin and the water is strong, if you go, if you go, you are gone gone gone… If you go you are gone, gone, gone.” Fifty years later the tale turned to legend, A woman claimed to be Bess for a second. By the fire, she said without smiling, “I’m Bessie, I killed him, I was simply surviving,” “I’m Bessie, I killed him, I was simply surviving.”
