Letra

My day begins and ends in twilight, high above the treeline
Static on the radio cuts out between the callsigns
North Wawona, Raymond Mountain, Mariposa Grove
I have been at Henness Ridge since I got out of danger
FBI informants wouldn’t look here for a ranger
They tapped my phone and threatened me with things I can’t recall
Now half my friends are crazy and the rest are at the bottom of a glass
And here I am, suspended with the sun careening off Tioga Pass
Calling helicopters retrofitted from their tours in Vietnam
Switching out the napalm and the agent orange for flame retardant bombs
Someday soon I’d like to reemerge from where I’m hiding
Pick up all the threads I left back where I was residing
Let the dean of my department know I’m still alive
I occupy my mind with memorizing constellations
Pretending I’m a sailor doing ancient navigation
The sky coming in early, interrupting my charade
It’s not like I don’t like it here, but no one knows me by my real name
And watching for the fires, I am losing sight of the eternal flame
Spectating destruction wrought by empire that I swore I’d try to end
My very own horizon and a forest floor that I agreed to tend
But who am I to be more than a witness
To everything that has yet to transpire?
And why do I think I deserve some power
Over anything more tangible than fire?
