Old Friend
I’ve sung your songs for years
Read the stories in your words
Been moved to tears
Processed grief
And today I got to meet you
And tell you how much your music has meant
And you smiled and were so lovely
And it made my heart feel warm

Been moved to tears
Processed grief
And today I got to meet you
And tell you how much your music has meant

A letter detailing a live filming of

In 1951! In war torn Berlin!
The thrill of research.

Home Base
The utter luxury of a whole day at home
And being accountable to no one except for myself
I’ve finally finished unpacking
And started a little hydroponic garden
And cooked up some noodles and dumplings
For comfort.

Singin' in the Rain
The rain was pouring down
But I was determined to get the miles in
It was soggy
But the way the air smelled!
The way the bark on the trees glowed!
The green of the grass and the leaves!
I stumbled across a community garden
And I traced its circular path
And huffed in the delicious scents of the herbs and flowers and earth
And occasionally the rain would hold off for just a moment
And it would feel steamy
And the rain would start again and it almost felt amazing
And sometimes I would pass another runner
And we would grin at each other
Look at us out here! Nothing can stop us now!
And I ran 10km /6.2 miles
And I felt joyous.

The Parable of the Sower
The thrill of being at Lincoln center
On a balmy summer night
To catch a new opera
Octavia L Butler’s Parable of the Sower
The thrill of live music
Gorgeously sung and played
The power of a carefully positioned light
The power of bodies in space
The power of storytelling
The power of a narrator who can speak to the audience and comment on the action within and outside the literal and figurative walls
And bring the play
Written thirty years ago and set next year
To the immediacy of today
Post apocalyptic America
And still we sing.

Aglow
A scrumptious dinner
Opposite Central Park
On a steamy summer night
With a wonderful friend
Deciding to wander through the park
Instead of going straight home
And discovering flocks of fireflies
Dancing with their lights aglow
