HOLDING EACH OTHER
We learn simply to travel
Everywhere we love
Sideways and forward/backwards /begin
Across the plain/the great divide/ride/ride
Savanna/meadow daisy/tundra /thunder/heart/land/steamy jungle
Scratch of vine/mud slide/torrential rain/across the fragile bridge
Slowly/ slowly/ over and over/outside out/inside/in
Onto the berm/next to the path/jump over /the creek /
Meander the grass/onto the ridge
Small town from the aerial view/ and me/and me and you
And all the dear beloved places/the knife/and all the dear beloved spaces/
Daily life/sudden blaze/loose strife/ the faces/all the dear beloved faces
And you/and you and me/break out of line/cross the border/move into sun
Sudden darkness/run the field/cross the valley/face the breakers/
Swerve careen/ blaze/hold on /let go/ return
Break into gallop/lope/plunge/ stroke/soar
Become the sea and the cannibal shore
Be brave/ be brave/like the salt sea wave/be brave
Like the salt sea wind/licking the shore/
Be brave/ be the wave/the wind/the shore
Everywhere we love
We learn simply to travel
