Turn Your Head Around

Jeseppi Trade Wildfeather

[the highest value of tribe
is to love the stranger]

he was a drifter
nuggets of gold
she was a miner
her pick too heavy to hold
diggin channels
deep veins of sound
got something to sing about
turn your head around

chosen family
good seed to sew
lovin strangers
best way to go
come together
lost and found
got something to sing about
turn your head around


a prophet searches
the promised land
unbelievers
don’t understand
when it happens
you stick around
got something to sing about
turn your head around

frightened creatures
lying still
some in the valley
some on the hill
living moments
cannot be rewound
got something to sing about
turn your head around

love to some folk
blind dumb and lame
like a drifter
without a name
hands up to heaven
feet off the ground
got something to sing about
turn your head around
