Ambassador

I know a country
 wild canyons and seas
 red roots wave in the fissures
 so wild the space betwen my love and me
 running in my midnight feet
 river through every gateway
 where you runs into me
 I'm going hunting
 my heart like a battle rings
 to you out in the country
 where true birds find their wings
 where we might tear the veil from beauty
 and see her dancing down the street
 where I might cry that I was drowning
 and you might laugh and drink the sea
 out in the jungles
 what if you should be the beast?
 sometimes love is a toothache
 to heal in a howl
 out along the warring sea
 breathing breaths of bravery
 as love roars into me
 til we might tear the veil from beauty
 and see her dancing down the street
 til I might cry that I was drowning
 and you might laugh and drink the sea
 and I might cry that I was dying and you might whisper
 wait for me
