Mile One (For Rebecca Solnit and Jo Kreiter)

from Grace and Delia Are Gone: Tales for the Stage, IV by Carla Kihlstedt and Matthias Bossi

lyrics

Here is a road
A thousand miles long
She walks down step by step
She isn't at mile one

I don't know how far she has to go,
but she'll never walk backwards.

Here is that day
Filled with a thousand tears
She tastes them one by one
and thinks about the sea.

I don't know how far she has to go,
but she doesn't walk alone.

Here is the room
It holds tempest, holds a storm
The wind picks up inside
But outside all is calm.

I don't know how far she has to go,
but she'll never walk backwards.

Here is the gun
It holds a thousand threats but needs just only one.
It turns around in the drawer
It follows across the floor.

I don't know how far she has to go,
but she doesn't walk alone.

She doesn't walk alone.
