Adelle Foley
(USA)
Wednesday morning music 1
The music feeds from
His iPhone, up to his ears
And out of his mouth
*
Wednesday morning music 2
Music from a car
Reminds me of the sound track
Of a French movie
*
Musician / Audience
He strolls as he sings
A sweet Chinese melody
To his fluffy dog
*
For Glenn Spearman, d. 10/8/98
Spirit of Music
Sound going every which way
Hear it in your heart
*
For New Orleans
As the waters fall
Let us mourn what was and praise
The music to come
