Ok, so, full disclosure here
I wanted this to be
so much more
but
it is what
it is

And yes my mom
My Mom
is indeed why I even play music
(beyond the obvious duh)
who has been to every concert of mine she is within 4+ hours of
who listened to dvorak incessantly while i was born
who always has the classical station on
who drove to idaho with the river on repeat for
however many days
who never once
made me think twice
about being what/who i am
as musician
person who does this
I’m so overwhelmed with gratitude
and love for her.

I honestly thought
Oh
I’d do a whole suite
or two
but this will have
to do
for now
just a composition or a feeling
or no none of that
really just me sitting down again
on another day
and she is why
i am able
and want to
make songs
in the first place

i see from here
every where
i have
stopped to take a sip yay
wishing for my ship yay
to come along
and hear d
that prophet’s song
forgot to follow along

just now close
on horizon like
whisp of
whale

made it
on a day
where floating away
seemed good

wanted to just record this uke, this bass uke but of course, i got lavish. i always do that. oh well! i like the idea of falling through a trance at some point in some future when i hear this some day.

go forth into it
quoth four in so as
you cross your heart
miss
led
mix the best with the best
and the red
letter
with the said and said
coy you say
oh boy
you say
we’ve got it right here
stuck inside our heads
this treasure

i don’t know where i’m going
and i
end up in this room
where i make music
fairly often
and it’s just a
passageway
or maybe
passageway is the
space between
thought and
thought
thought and
hope
and fear
or maybe
passageway
is the place you dissolve into
where you are loved entirely
desired even
your place here
passageway
the lost useless
passageway
the cost of
no rhyme
passageway
passenger

heroic
just to push forward
to want
with joy
to push forward with joy
is just about the most heroic thing
i saw today
and it
filled me with
so much love
i almost died

after wash of rain
and waiting in it
in the early hours of the morning
for something
to change
come back
around
it did
but i didn’t
know it
at the time

a catastrophe
broke the sky open
no more watching
watch it

went to the women’s march in downtown LA yesterday
it was good to be there, not knowing what or why
i was by myself as i am not good at organizing intentions
and also it was total chaos

but the brain just can’t comprehend how many human beings were there
alive and
united
i’ve been to big protests
against the iraq war in portland
but this was just, beyond comprehension
and endless stream of
hope, honestly
