Rexroth's Daughter

Coldest night of the winter

working up my farewell

In the middle of everything

under no particular spellDreaming of the mountains

where the children learn the stars

Clouds roll in from Nebraska

dark chords on a big guitarMy restlessness is long gone

standing like an old jack pine

I'm looking for Rexroth's daughter

She's a friend of a friend of mineCan't believe your hands and mouth

did all that to me

And they are so daily naked

for all the world to seeThat thunderstorm in Michigan

I never will forget

We shook right with the thunder

& with the pounding rain got wetWhere did you turn when you turned from me

with your arms across your chest

Ya,I'm looking for Rexroth's daughter

saw her in the great northwestWould she have said it was the wrong time

if I had found her then

I don't ask very much

a field across the road and a few good friendsShe used to come & see me

she was always there & gone

Even the very longest love

do'nt last very longShe'd stood there in my doorway

smoothing out her dress

saying 'life is a thump-ripe melon-

-so sweet and such a mess'[I wanted to get to know you

but you said you were shy

I would have followed you anywhere

but hello rolled into goodbyeI just stood there watching

as you walked along the fence

Beware of them that look at you

as an experienceYou're back out on the highway

with your poems of city heat

I'm looking for Rexroth's daughter

here on my own side street]Well,The murderer who lived next door

seemed such a normal guy--

You try to swallow what they shove at us

you run out of tears to cryI heard a man speak quietly

I listened for a while

He spoke from his heart to my woe

& then he bowed & smiledWhat is real but compassion

as we move from birth to death

Ya,I'm looking for Rexroth's daughter

& I'm running out of breathSpring will come back I know it will

& it'll do its best

so useful, so endangered

like a lion or a breastI think about my children

when I look at any child's face

pray that we will find a way

to get with all this amazing graceIt's so cold out there tonight

stormy I can hardly see

I'm looking for Rexroth's daughter

& I guess I always will be.
