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
Moon In Cancer (13a)
MOON IN CANCER
Water-born(e)
Incessant riptide
Tortuous
Exquisite
The eyes of the Universe
Ever unblinking

The Nature Of Things
THE NATURE OF THINGS
They named him Walter
And yet were surprised when he
Ran away to sea
