Calling Kerry
(C. Wilson)

in the beginning again whether with or without
the closeness and the shortness of your aim
where what is within was there to begin
with clouds and clutter...stumbling

the dream deferral...it's all in my mind
what seems eternal and so hard to find
the leaves and ashes and scars and scares
put on your face to wear

when we started out for the sun in all that rain
with all kinds of danger and all kinds of dare
for every ounce of glory and glitter
some luggage to carry...much less bitter

I'm beginning again and I'm with and without
a material mirage which has no name
for the freedom of radical imitation
never did or will embrace our situation

and all this talk about leaving and staying
and just that thought...I'm not stuck...I'm staying
you listen or not...there's a giant void
smashed out windows and closing doors
they are calling...calling Kerry
they are calling...calling Kerry
they are calling...calling Kerry
they are calling
hear me...I'm calling...calling Kerry
yes I'm calling
hear me...I'm calling...calling Kerry
