Thoughts on music
Rhythm introduced
Melody meanders through
Harmony resolved
To feel warmth from strings
To see the resolution;
Comfort in music
– Minstrel Boy

Words stuck in my head:
“This ain’t no requiem for
my defeat.” – Jay Berndt
Come hear wise Jay sing this Friday at the German Social Club, featuring a few ladies from Assembly of Light Women’s Choir.
Joe Fletcher (solo) & Chris Fullerton will be opening.
Find the Facebook event for Jay’s solo debut release show here.
And listen to his tunes before you leave the confessional:
Different Things by Jay Berndt.
Get your deutchland on!
– K
Henry
with your beard shaven,
you hardly look 25.
so grow it again!
Happy Birthday, dear friend!
Ode to a Horserace
Rapid snorting breaths
Straining giants churn the ground
Graceful like dancers
– J O’D

what’s under those buttons
steel heart reserve, concealing
feelings soft like clouds…
A Work Day
Work: pin-board, one sock
puppet issued, pen & ink
puppet lips talk soon-
(I was going to
hallucinate, with you here,
that is not the same)
Work: lunch, stale bread rot.
tupperware lost under their
pilfered mess piles.
(Those two press finger,
by finger along their hands,
these two plot problems)
Work: desk, empty cups
not large enough, nor full long
before heavy eyes.
(my friend that does drink
coffee, WHERE ARE YOU RIGHT NOW!
I need you quickly.)
Work: end, 4:30
freedom afternoon, sublime
–,–, Q.E.D.

speakers shake with soulful licks
