This gate is made of light through leaves
Wild in me
I free myself open this gate
Wild in me
A boy lives here who is not safe
Wild in me
Lives in this home that’s stayed the same
Wild in me
And though I have a life and love
The wild unchanged since I grew up
My canticle, my pulse, my breath
Wild in me
No words to speak I pass as rain
Wild in me
Mechanical, he eats his shame
Wild in me
But in the ground he’s lost his place
Wild in me
The house foreclosed
The mom passed on
But here I find a part was gone
This gate is made from light through leaves
Wild in me

Scratch and Dent

Born with crackling leaves
Valves unmoving steam
Never safety’s grasp
Double resewn clasp
And the wind ain’t blowing the sheets out on the line
And the fire ain’t getting the wind too hard to find
Most of us are sung in the key of discontent, we’re each a million dollars unspent
Most of us are found in the bin of scratch and dent, we’re each a million dollars unspent
Left her in a squall
Took a whole damned wall
Water rushing in
Lived with tide at chin
And the mailman knows that the mom knows what she did
But the dad makes sure that no letters reach the kid
Most of us are sung in the key of discontent, we’re each a million dollars unspent
Most of us are found in the bin of scratch and dent, we’re each a million dollars unspent

There she was growing stars alone in the night sky
The universe was callous to her
And the bright of her work transferred into starlight
She gave them fire and guided them and
I believe in love because of her
It’s the morning she lost it, and her marriage had cost it
Her three boys didn’t get it but she just lost all her credit
They let her keep the TV, but what of dignity
In the house just before dawn she doesn’t feel much like a mom she
Sips her coffee so quiet crying softly and private
And the time spent soft inside her is the self care of a fighter
They wake up she composes, one door opens one closes
And suddenly she is still here, lets her motherhood fill her
And I believe in love because of her
She was bright coral reef a haven to many
Intricate on the ocean floor and
And they found shelter in her oath of protection
Dignified in the strength she gave and
I believe in love because of her
It’s the day she decided that she just couldn’t right it
Her house was so far under that the bastards had sunk her
Though her goodness meant good friends, her compassion could not be spent
Outside of these walls she wasn’t nearly as wealthy and
What is she to her debtors, just the slack they abet her
And it doesn’t feel like greed to get your family what you need to, she
Flicks the light in the hallway pictures them as kids always
And suddenly she’s still here, lets her motherhood fill her
And i believe in love because of her.

We draw what we need from the river we rain in and
We hunt what we need from the forest we shine in and
We eat what we need from the fields that we sow in and
We pick what we need from the garden we grow in and
I make this world with you
Sustained and cycling through
With growth and death renew
With growth and death renew
Wake up to ourselves like a weather report
We dress for the day in the light of the morning
We walk through a valley where the wind blows our curtains in
We pour out a stream of discussion and swim towards us
I make this world with you
Sustained and cycling through
With growth and death renew
With growth and death renew
Ghost in the garden we see you, we turn towards you
Excise the fallow we mulch what we keep
Ghost in the forest we see you, we run towards you
Forage the soil we take what we need
I make this world with you
Sustained and cycling through
With growth and death renew
With growth and death renew

I have found my home in the middle of friends that shine like gold folks of justice
I tried to find my own way tried to build my morals from truth
Tried to listen patient and tried to give others my use
All my life I have lived in the people I loved
Held in heart and made whole by their honor and trust
I have found my home in the middle of friends that shine like gold folks of justice
I tried to find my own way tried to build my morals from truth
Tried to listen patient and tried to give others my use
Never travelled far never wanted to, looked around myself saw the magnitude
Folks have depth like cities alleyways and districts of self
Complicated simply by the act of being someone else
All my life I have lived in the people I loved
Held in heart and made whole by their honor and trust
I have found the home they have given me
I live inside them and they live in me
