To Wild Homes

First my trusty voice cracked,

like it's not plain to see,

a sidewalk step,

defaults on my debt to the order of society.



Behold our first rate lady,

as if you hadn't guessed,

the homemade queen of every homecoming

not so gently laid to rest.



And then outside her courtyard

after entering your plea

you strike the right ingredient

and chew the scenery.



How many times must we say

this kind of inflation cannot kill us.

Our backers use versions we used to unwind with

the threads of an argument lost.



To wild homes we go.

To wild homes we return.

To wild homes we go.
