Life

now suzanne takes your hand

and she leads you to the river

she is wearing rags and feathers

from salvation army counters

and the sun pours down like honey

on our lady of the harbour

.

and she shows you where to look

among the garbage and the flowers

there are heroes in the seaweed

there are children in the morning

they are leaning out for love

and they will lean that way forever

while suzanne holds the mirror

.

and you want to travel with her

and you want to travel blind

and you know that you can trust her

for she's touched your perfect body

with her mind

.
