Wild Girl
You stand small in the wind
Eyes like whirlpools
Hair unpinned
Wild Girl
What is it
that makes you run?
I know your shoes can't hold your feet any longer
They're raw at the sole
Wild Girl
I didn't catch your name
Your shadow didn't hang around
But your reflection lingered in my mind
Wild Girl
I've longed for you for years
Kept you in my small cramped dark
Paying for my fears
Wild Girl
You move like a river
Dirty feet, grass stained clothes
Freckles of chaotic constellations
I turn around in my doorway
And look back at myself
I always knew who I was
Who I was born to be
Wild Girl
