Unfound Door - River Whyless

I have finally weighed your heavy tongue

And I can finally say I’m running love

I never want to be whole

I’ll hoe this garden malleable

When the greenery’s gone to seed

I pull the dry earth clean and free

So I wouldn’t want to get too close to me

I have finally weighed your heavy tongue

And I can finally say I’m running love

I heard about a secret field

Way in the woods up on the hills

I hiked for three damn years

Shouted into our broken ears

Climbed high in a tree

And found that field not there

So I climbed back down in a blossom of self-defeat

I never want to be a hole

I drove by the church it looked warm

That glass was glowing red

My heart was high up in my chest

I need community

I need to finally believe in me

Am I ready?

I’m not ready

My hands are steady on the wheel…
