It seems to come just so naturally to her
a whirlwind passes through her like over a pretty prairie meadow
no clumps and dead ends between buildings
and tremendous wastelands,
no maddening boundaries forcing the eye to see further than it was ever intended to.
never a sewer to sap the energy and drain the muck.
altogether and one whole thought,
molded in such a beautiful wavy and deep rhythmic flow of sound enveloped in sweet forgiving air..
without even the purpose to heal those of us fortunate enough to receive its nostalgic currents here in the city.

De beneficis
Forget what you know
you think you know
And what you know you know
or at least think
be nothing
which wants
sit down beside me,
see nothing
of the rolling hill or the tree here
silent over the warm evening
let your mouth release you
i am on guard
and so is our tree
exhale your remembrance
there is no country
what you have built is yours to keep
or yours to give
Forget what you know
you think you know
And what you know you know
or at least think
be nothing
which wants
sit down beside me,
see nothing
of the rolling hill or the tree here
silent over the warm evening
let your mouth release you
i am on guard
and so is our tree
exhale your remembrance
there is no country
what you have built is yours to keep
or yours to give
