Clearing webs from the hovel

A blistered hand on the handle of a shovel

Ive been digging too deep

I always do

I see my face on the surface

I look a lot like narcissus

A dark abyss of an emptiness

Standing on the edge of a drowning blue



I look behind my ears for the green

And even my sweat smells clean

Glare off the white hurts my eyes

I gotta get out of bed

Get a hammer and a nail

Learn how to use my hands

Not just my head

I think myself in a jail

Now I know a refuge never grows

From a chin in a hand

And a thoughtful pose

Gotta tend the earth

If you want a rose



I had a lot of good intentions

Sit around for fifty years

And then collect a pension

Started seeing the road to hell

And just where it starts

But my life is more than a vision

The sweetest part is acting

After making a decision

Started seeing the whole

As a sum of its parts



And I look behind my ears for the green

And even my sweat smells clean

Glare off the white hurts my eyes

Gotta get out of bed

Get a hammer and a nail

Learn how to use my hands

Not just my head

I think myself in a jail

Now I know a refuge never grows

From a chin in a hand

And a thoughtful pose

Gotta tend the earth

If you want a rose



My life is part of the global life

Id found myself becoming more immobile

When Id think a little girl in the world

Cant do anything

A distant nation my community

And a street person my responsibility

If I have a care in the world

I have a gift to bring



I look behind my ears for the green

Even my sweat smells clean

Glare off the white hurts my eyes

I gotta get out of bed

Get a hammer and a nail

Learn how to use my hands

Not just my head

I think myself in a jail

Now I know a refuge never grows

From a chin in a hand

And a thoughtful pose

Gotta tend the earth

If you want a rose

    To spill the blood, to pull the weed
    You can bury the past, but it's a mausoleum
    With the ghost of a fist that won't let us be..."
  • Come on Home

    Soon the sky will open up and disarm me
    You will go just like you've gone before
    One sad soldier off to war, enemies that only you can see...."

    There's just enough of you in me
    For me to have sympathy..."
