Fruit scraps from meals,
Coffee grindings—

As surely count the days,
Not long 'till sights mark the arrival,
Even so,
   I'm there....

Gives
Me release
From this
World of
Pettiness
And greed
In other words
Mama (mami)
You’re
What 
I need...

brings beam of new hope, fair and bright
to hopeful hearts that toil and pray,

C'mon! The geezer just had a heart attack!

Let it impart
As I start

As I pray
Talk back to me
I am a soul and I need you Lord

Quatrain #78:
DAWN


Dance in the light as music hurls,
Attend to flight where form now swirls;
Wear a keen sight to cast your lot,
Now breeze blooms bright in this grand world.

are these mere words to him?...

VIOLIN  - multiform 

the old cedar chest
cracks with a dry musty blast

old news and dad’s violin

scratchy violin
alexander’s ragtime band
old 78

now the house lights dim
quiet anticipation
walking on – perlman!...
