And Really
Words that I write and art that I create Neither gritty nor cute enough to take It is quite colorful, but a teensy bit odd Come by and see it and give me the nod Face may be green, or a portrait of feet Or complex, hard to get, it can’t be beat Is it […]

The Spaces Between
Shall we talk then Shall we sing Discuss Rachmaninov Analyze Proust Remembrance of future things Will you tell me No one knows What tomorrow brings As musicians fingers fly Over strings, along the keys Quickly, quickly Come listen Not only notes, words Intonation, intention Momentary suspension Of belief, disbelief Worry, care Moments in amber Aria […]
