There's a magnet by the door
That pulls my frame across the floor
There's a face that waits for me
With a mouth of poetry

And these poems that come out stuttered
Communicate that I matter
Darling, there are gifts inside your hands
That let me know that I am loved

And though I've been wild, wild  in a quiet way
Kept myself to myself, in this private craze
Though I've been sharp teeth in a dark cave
A wounded body on busy pavements

I've been blue in the day and I've been frightened
But my burning mouth turns to lilac
Words are born in the quiet
As you stand there in your shyness
I'm domesticated by kindness
Domesticated by kindness

My mask will burn down with the show
These Lone Ranger eyes are no longer closed
There's water reaching seeds in olive groves
A forest blooming like it never has before

Though I've been wild, wild  in a quiet way
Kept myself to myself, in this private craze
Though I've been sharp teeth in a dark cave
A wounded body on busy pavements

I've been blue in the day and I've been frightened
But my burning mouth turns to lilac
Words are born in the quiet
As you stand there in your shyness
I'm domesticated by kindness
Domesticated by kindness

You meet me by the water
You don't know it, but you coax me out of feral postures
Feather fingers, picnic lunch
And I'm defrosted by your love
Domesticated by kindness
