Manzanita twisting in the soft spring light
You’re the dark and starry kind
No wonder I miss the glow
of your glassy owl eyes
I remember the smell of cedar and stories by the fire
One told of a broken heart and an engineer for hire
Now it’s mended and beating somewhere in the snow
On a buried mountain side
Fear is not a weapon here any more
We get warm, share our poems, and take off our clothes
What wild can’t we conquer for the promise of a home?
Nothing worth holding is free
Not my songs, my meals, my family
Not my will for wanting them to be
I have been under your charm
But I like it here, I like whatever hanging constellation you were born under
Stay
or I’ll lull myself to sleep under bright city lights
to the hum of the freeway
