Were I a wise fly on the wall
Watching the nonsense unfold
I’d fly away
But not before the whir in my wings
Shouted
She’s given you everything
Do you need my eyes
To see unbegrudgingly
The mosaic beauty of her
Were I a wise fly on the wall
Watching the nonsense unfold
I’d fly away
But not before the whir in my wings
Shouted
She’s given you everything
Do you need my eyes
To see unbegrudgingly
The mosaic beauty of her
Healing can’t come
Bit by bit, in scraps
As you think it ought
In this place at least
Healing won’t flow
Warm and unnoticed
And make the heart red again
In places it’d paled
Healing will rather
Be absent and stealth
Then with lightning speed
Jolt you back into place
the mind is certain
it knows two opposite truths
two parallel truths
If only in words
Still come hither fine hero
Inspire our good deeds
I would
I’d jump into yours
Yours
Despite the syncope
No matter the string-along
I will
I’ll fall into you
You
My drummer boy
My guitar man
There is a Group
America’s Youth
What Nation they’re from let us learn
They rise up unjaded
They show up in conscience
They speak up that freedom’s torch burns
What if no one comes
Will we still thrive all alone
With only ourselves
Every time I look
The light always turns on
And I’ll reach with wonder
To put it out
Hoping
You don’t find yourself
Missing the dark
May the compassless
Be given travel mercies
They know not the way
My god, the green
I watched as it withered
Far from the windows, my soul
