## Lyrics

### Lyrics: Wildpeace

Not the peace of a cease-fire,  
not even the vision of the wolf and the lamb,  
but rather  
as in the heart when the excitement is over  
and you can talk only about a great weariness.  
I know that I know how to kill,  
that makes me an adult.  
And my son plays with a toy gun that knows  
how to open and close its eyes and say Mama.  
A peace  
without the big noise of beating swords into ploughshares,  
without words, without  
the thud of the heavy rubber stamp: let it be  
light, floating, like lazy white foam.  
A little rest for the wounds—  
who speaks of healing?  
(And the howl of the orphans is passed from one generation  
to the next, as in a relay race:  
the baton never falls.)  
  
Let it come  
like wildflowers,  
suddenly, because the field  
must have it: wildpeace.
