MINIMALISM
Two
Four
Six
Eight …
No response
No one calls out
Empty Echoes
No one calls …
No two now
No one
To appreciate
This zero …
Not For Nothing
NOT FOR NOTHING
Many years ago now we vowed
That we would never allow loss
(however painful this might be)
To restrict our deeply felt interaction
With any of the music we love
Given that we view music as
A gymnasium for the emotions
It surely follows don’t you know
That if we do not exercise
Our emotions when needed
Or like water, or like blood
They fester and putrefy
Teardrops
Contain both
Water (for cleansing)
And salt (for preservation)
Nature is not called
Mother Nature
For nothing
Chores
CHORES
This afternoon
I have to walk into town
First it’s to the dentists
To tell them she won’t
Need that appointment now
Then to the post office
To mail off the form
Removing her from the
Electoral roll
Fortunately it’s sunny and dry
It’s two weeks tomorrow
The Plan
THE PLAN
One thousand golden days
Ten thousand sparkling thoughts
Spread out here before us
At least that was the plan
Better Safe Than Sorry
BETTER SAFE THAN SORRY
Wear my heart on my sleeve
Come hell or high water
I’ve learnt over the years
Better to go short sleeved
Whoever Has Ears (18b)
WHOEVER HAS EARS
Köln Concert
Over and over
With you then
Without you
Music you can rely on
Others … Not so much

FOR KIM
Your comments
Spread across our posts
You and I
Conversing
I come across them again
And I shed a tear
