A Tether

Take me to the ruins
Aquifers and springs
Baby ferns uncurling
Every living thing

Be to me a mother
With both hands on the wheel
Show me faded color
Fields of chamomile

All at once in a dream
We are together
You could call it a vision
Or a tether
All at once, I can see it
Put back together
You could call it a vision
Or a tether

Take me to the jungle
Teach me tiger law
Read to me a poem
I'll sing to you a psalm

Drunk in my devotion
Laid out on your chest
Student of abandon
With you I am blessed

All at once in a dream
We are together
You could call it a vision
Or a tether
All at once, I can see it
Put back together
You could call it a vision
Or a tether

All at once in a dream
We are together
You could call it a vision
Or a tether
All at once, I can see it
Put back together
You could call it a vision
You could call it a vision
You could call it a vision
