Dear Ones Lost
DEAR ONES LOST
Where are you now?
Where are you now?
Where are you now?
Missing you terribly
But that’s our fault
Not yours
Or is it?
Or else not?
For you are I
As I play you
In your absence
Asking where am I?
Asking where am I?
Asking where am I?
So What
SO WHAT
Go to hell? No probs
Been there already
Came back intact
A few hot baths
A few clockticktocks
And good as new
As the bell rings
For the next round
And round and round
And round we go
Waving, smiling
See you there
Waving back
Smiling back
Presenility
PRESENILITY
Remembering
What it is one forgot
Halfway down the stairs
Is a welcome improvement
On only remembering later
No, no all is not yet lost
While what one lost
Is yet remembered
For a little while
Penury (Republished)
PENURY
We found love’s treasure
Seems we’ve spent it and sadly
All that’s left is change
Minimalism
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
