Hammer And A Nail |
| Clearing webs from the hovel |
| A blistered hand on the handle of a shovel |
| I’ve been digging too deep, I always do. |
| I see my fate on the surface |
| I look a lot like Narcissus |
| A dark aabyss of an emptiness |
| Standing on the edge of a drowning blue. |
| I look behind my ears for the green |
| 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 into jail |
| Now I know a refuge never grows |
| From a chin in a hand in 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 |
| I started seeing the whole as a sum of its parts |
| My life is part of the global life |
| I’d found myself becoming more immobile |
| When I’d think a little girl in the world can’t do anything. |
| A distant nation my community |
| A street person my responsibility |
| If I have a care in the world I have a gift to bring. |
