one word memphis: stack
[Wrote this while listening to Joni's "I Had a King," so there's some intersecting.]
the backs of hands
have known much bliss
carrying beyond the ripe
fields
the grains of sand
the vision that
fit the hearts of manor
beings, human offerings
aftertime
time down the alleyways
time down the falls
of all who gain
the mast
the time we met
was left to find
moons new
suns due to the others
we came down the valleys
chiming for green
gracing the kings and queens
of our desire
caroling
was in the air
seconding on the narrow highways
the backs of hands
have known much bliss
carrying beyond the ripe
fields
the grains of sand
the vision that
fit the hearts of manor
beings, human offerings
aftertime
time down the alleyways
time down the falls
of all who gain
the mast
the time we met
was left to find
moons new
suns due to the others
we came down the valleys
chiming for green
gracing the kings and queens
of our desire
caroling
was in the air
seconding on the narrow highways

A glorious concert and poetry reading to accompany my dark chocolate bon bon for dessert!! Thanks for adding music to this one.
Teresa: As much I love Hejira and Court and Spark, I am notoriously ignorant about her earlier music: truthfully, I did not much care for her voice then. I found this song quite beautiful, and have started my way back to the older material, with new ears.
