The Wild Kindness

 I wrote a letter to a wildflower

On a classic nitrogen afternoon
Some power that hardly looked like power
Said, I'm perfect in an empty room

Four dogs in the distance
Each stands for a kindness, yeah
Bluebirds lodged in an evergreen altar

I'm gonna shine out in the wild silence
I'm gonna shine out in the wild silence
I'm gonna shine out in the wild silence
And spurn the sin of giving in

Oil paintings of x-rated picnics
Behind the walls of medication I'm free
Every leaf in a compact mirror (bye-bye, babe bye-bye)
Hits a target that we can't see (babe, bye-bye, goodbye)

Grass grows in the icebox
The year ends in the next room
It is autumn and my camouflage is dying

Instead of time there will be lateness
Instead of time there will be lateness
Instead of time…
