Best Play It By Ear Poems

In the dimmed theater, the stage is set
not for a play though, yet a performance 
one of baton, brass, notes, timpani 
the performance I have waited for has come

As the stage lights grow brighter like sunlight

In the fall of 1803,
The good ship, “The Queen Ann’s Knees”
Sailed out on the bounding seas.
Out of sight of the land

Some starry night I’ll have a crack
At humming a lullaby for you.
But first I’ll try to find a track
To your soul not to make it blue.

You’ll lay your head on my breast,
And I’ll try to remain steady
Though you’ll be...
