Standin' on the corner
Feeling kinda lifted
O its been so long
He's bummin' a cigarette
He asks "Have we met
In another form?"
"Does it come to you clearly?
In the grove you were near me
You had my favorite flower"
"Come close and remember
Our shape made together
Climb on up the tower"
In faces I've never seen
Coy traces of memory
Through eyes come widening dreams
Fossiled lines torn pages leave
Gone when you need it
That's the design of the spirit
I don't recall your flower
There's no stairwell up the tower
up the tower
up the tower
up the tower

Harp Unstrung

"Then I will no longer
Find myself in life as in a strange garment
Surprised at the earth
And the love of one woman
And the shamelessness of men
As today writing after three days of rain
Hearing the wren sing and the falling cease"
-W.S. Merwin
In the droughted days that follow
When your question stalls the mind
I'd cut the strings from the harpists device
For a harp unstrung is but a frame for the thumb
As it dances its cultural slide
What's back there? What's hidden?
What leavings might you give?
A few flakes of gold fragments collected in the sieve
All the 49ers still are all waiting at the mill
Drinking 'neath the moonshine
I take a terrifying step 'cross benevolent shade
Without color or sound in any familiar way
Noise has never been othered nor severed before
As coil, either nylon nor gut
In the droughted days that follow
When your question stalls the mind
I'd cut the strings from the harpists device
For a harp unstrung is but a frame for the thumb
"As it bows not knowing to what"
