Powell Poems 11-22-08: 3/4

i need music to live
harp violin trumpet sax piano
cello guitar symbol crash
bow beauty
exclaim
whisper
charm, convince
me
like word after word missive
to day after day live

----
are yr shoes as cold black and hard
as
yr spirit
or
can i slide myself into them, it

seems to fit
-----

yr a genius and yr
long hair guapo
i stare
across the room, you pair
yr genius to guitar
and fly, a sklar-lark
into tomarr-hark!
oh! now you know, we float along here @ Mahler show
yr face shows yr brain a glow

-----

symphony wisdom:
what do you love-- do it
do it again
share it
join others
punk and practice around
accept and challenge sound
rise confidence like sun
draw moon like twilight
power of and over nature
rock world ocean eternal truths
roll on crest and dip
create habitats for life, to grow, evolve, be...
patient, share, exhibit and care to know... yr not always alone

there are others who’ll add, harmonize, deepen yr tone

(StL symphony wisdom for a poet... i do not condone!)

why this chair so ranked
special and extra thanked
we dont all wanna gotta go
for the first chair in show
where yr solo
instrument wedded wonder
never widow, you above law
need not rights nor fights nor heights
terra transcender, (from the orchestra crescendoer)
you are
high
stars
shining
twinkle
special
and yet, a wrinkle in the face of the century

-----
horses fields, open blue sky
children all together
harmony in weather
ebullient time spent
excellent !
joy is not for rent
cost: more than life for lent
joy is yr life
today is advent

----

how many lovers
brothers
are uncovered in the sweet smothers
of the orchestra
brauhmt brauhmt
then szwing szwing bells
and coowl coowl shoowl flute spells

wait
wait
she knows, you told her?
i had too, she asked me
of the truth you told her?
of comity, you and me

wait
wait
lovers, brothers
and the spies undercovers

awoken, thrown off bedsheets
ah, the music entreats
us to just go along with the song

-----

volcanos erupt
and disrupt the day

---

a volcano that erupted
disrupted the day
