Thicket fences

I spy them in your eyes
although you never speak
the words outloud
i can tell

thicket fences to
shield you from
knowing looks
and prying eyes

from faith healers
and recondite shamans
who do not comprehend
with their righteous prescriptions
and ritual incantations.

thicket fences
quiet wanderer
when will you learn?
and when will you let the healing begin?

I spy it in your eyes
you're a tease
you're waiting for me
to start aren't you?

thicket fences
you hide behind
yeah,
i see you

thicket fences
where the healing begins.
