LOOK BOTH WAYS
Look both ways,
Constantinople, Santa Helena,
One thread ties all,
Before the fouling,
Popes’ calendars,
Kings’ scribes,
Nicea,
Three hundred bishops gathered ’round Constantine to sanctify imperialism,
In the name of Christ, Jesus of Nazareth, pagan,
Nicea, on to the Crusades,
Colonies,
Dominion,
Subjugation,
Exploitation,
What the birds are singing,
What the stars are saying.

PASSOVER

Sacred Earth, Primal, Pagan,

Before the fouling,

Popes’ calendars,

Nicea.

Passover that,

What the birds are singing,

What the stars are saying,

Return, passover.

Against all odds…

Circumstances took away my Camble Milton upright acoustical piano. I weep listening to this track I made off the top of my head one Wednesday morning after one Tuesday night. On impulse I put a mic down inside the strings, one take. What a sound. All the feeling of that time I could put on those keys. I watched my precious Milton go down the road on the back of a flatbed trailer some weeks later. Some things I just can’t get over.
