Field guide to wild life
One human wild child
She’s easy
To catch when hungry

Footprints small next to mine
I’m watching, tracking
I make a steady line
She’s dancing, spinning
Blinded by the look of her

Every emotion in one small hour
A raging ocean, a meteor shower
Blinded by the fire in her

She’d like to live in groups
One boat for the whole family
Teach her fishing too
She’d paint and sing her shanty
“With you red and blue”
