Burning open road
200 county lines
My head’s a heavy load
Chemical and otherwise
Take your idiot cheer
Get out safe right here
16 months into my
Wilderness year
Oh. It’s all on me.
Everything is only part
Of everything.
It’s wild.
Relentlessly.
There’s a landmark there
Smoldering coals
We could stop to cross
Feet bare, blue jeans rolled
Just a stunt I learned
Feral pain swallows fear
And once you go,
You must return so
Happy new year, happy
Cold sunrise
In the whispering pines
You got your unquiet mind
It’s a wilderness life.
Oh.
Relentlessly wild.
