Find a place that's safe and dry
make that your home.
When you're hungry
find some food
and eat it slowly.
And it sounds like sage advice
but no, it's not from me.
It's from Richard Brautigan.
Plant your poems in the garden
and watch them grow.
Show your little ones
that you were once a little one.
And it sounds like sage advice
but no, it's not from me.
It's from Richard Brautigan.
And I don't rest easier.
No, I don't rest easier
knowing you can write a story
just like I can write a song
when the words we say out loud
turn out all wrong.
And I don't rest easier.
No, I don't rest easier
knowing you can write a story
just like I can write a song
when the bones that carry us
will soon be gone.
