After An Evening of Indian Classical Music...
This little man,
This shake of hair and shoulder life.
A smile, a grin on the last improvised beat.
This finger wonder,
palms retreat with a snap
as the santoor speaks
This collage, this voice
a million men in two
The tabla aches to begin
Shall we listen hard my friend?...

For Ravi Shankar: This Is What It Was
Raga. Sun shifts as fingers on
sitar.
Ravi Shankar is dead.
Old women in dark clothes
make it down the road through
a tabla of sounding rain
We know not sometimes
what effects us until it
has done so.
Play music in the cell phone
and breath while awaiting the
bus.
Pour honey onto bread at home
and think, this is what it was....

I Believed You Would Come Today
I believed you would come today
I filled the pen full with blue ink
gold was coming into the grey
preparing the ground for the pink
you love, I knew, the iambic
with the rhythmic sounds of tabla
in the green field two spotted chicks
In the blue lake, a gondola
somehow the clouds wished otherwise
shortly it filled the blue again
saddening was collapsing highs
the pen sick in a severe pain
hopes often must sit on a dew
unaware of the red hot hues...
