Travelling Light

Dedicated to Stuart A. Staples


I want to break someone's little finger
In three places

Give me strings on a hollow wooden body
Crumpled suits and apprehension

The warbler, the jongleur
The slur, the trill, the quaver

I can only serenade in that way
Without drop z tuning 

Barmonies and mashed taters
Send in the French horn

Alone in the living room
The air conditioner remote 

Engrossed and enthralled in the music
The dog watching me
