2009

so this is what it’s like

book launches

words bound, unleashed

 

i had a friend then

who played for us

concert hall style in

ramshackle indie venue

what should he play for me?

bach

 

i leapt as high as

my craft allowed

 

we take our kids

to a lake soon after

he asks, was it good enough?

i wonder why he needs to ask

me, or at all

 

april song of cranes returning

children’s voices

bach, simple and clear

like the plain gold band that anchors

eclectic jewels.
