I SAY A LITTLE PRAYER by ARETHA FRANKLIN. Poem by Michael Leach
’ll never forget/the sights/the sounds/the (e)motions/of departing/Mum’s/Service of/Thanksgiving.
’ll never forget/the sights/the sounds/the (e)motions/of departing/Mum’s/Service of/Thanksgiving.
A scratched disc in a glove box/ the records she took when she left.
Girls boys/ Vibrant noise/ Girls men?/ Not quite Zen/ Finding tribe/ Cool vibe/ Brave sky/ No asking why/ In a pink angora dress.
They rode a flying carpet together and travelled with birds.
Hope plays with with The Stiletto Sisters, The Persephone Project, My Friend The Chocolate Cake and many others.
On the train/we ran through fields of wildflowers/as if in slow motion...
Northbound on the turnpike/across vague acres/at evening's beginning.
A Michael Leach limerick recalls a precious moment.
Ethan told me about/ the time he took Laura on vacation/to Miami after we first broke up
before I left, I walked up to the boy and told him his music was divine; I was proud to have him with me.
