Crater Lake

When the night is a fence
That you press yourself against
When the colors return to your cheeks
And the fireflies catch you by surprise
Born again in the Milky Way
Where the sky is so clear
You feel like a star
You don’t know what nothing is When the wildflowers bloom
And the snowpacks melt into the ground
When the smell of wild pine intoxicates
And the long long sleep sheds its weight
Born again in the Crater Lake
Where the water is so clear
You don’t know what naked is Born again on the interstate
Where your mind is so clear
You feel like a kid
You don’t know what normal is
