To Love (Ode to Marty)

Jon Pyle

Walking along behind you
I didn't want to follow in your footsteps
So I squished them out
Now I wished I hadn't
What you were trying to teach me now I wish I knew
A closeness to the land
Thinking like an animal
How do you love and destroy simultaneously?
A muskrat chews its foot to escape from the trap
I chewed mine to get away from you
But I didn't get away

Now I follow the path you set me on
I wish you were here to tell it
I'm not a killer, but you were
Passed down through generations stopped with me
What will I teach?
To follow the path?
To think like an animal?
