You wanna know what I do
behind closed doors
I’m a code breaker
shortening wars
A linguist and translator
of all that’s spoken and unspoken
A midwife at your birthing
helping you to open
You wanna know what I do
when I’m out of your sight
I’m escaping the screens
with their artificial light
I’m a nocturnal creature
awake when you’re asleep
Standing in the dark
in stars knee deep
You wanna know what I do
when you’re busy chilling out
I’m a matriarch elephant
who remembers where there’s water
who will guide you through the desert
and away from all this slaughter
Or I’m Jacque Cousteau in his submarine
seeking out new life in the depth of your being
You wanna know what I do
when you’re lost in your creation
I’m a soul sculptor
in search of revelation
An instrument of being
singing songs of liberation
Oh and by the way (and in case you didn’t know it)
I’m also – a radical poet
