ETUDE#1: STREET MUSICIAN
dim green light falling through ivy and vine
into the tiny stone park on the street full
of tourist shops- a man with wavy straw hair
perched on a wooden bench picking
“Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring”
on an old classical, the melody dancing like
two birds giving praise.
ETUDE #2: STREET MUSICIAN
amber hair tumbling over a pale face,
she picked a thin banjo on a shop step,
a faded red flower curled to the body,
singing mountain songs behind glasses
with wide black frames, and the only money
I spent all day was a dollar in her case.
SKETCH
the chipped and faded concrete Mary
stood in a dry fountain by a red shack
in the woods, covered with dirt
and abandoned whispy spider webs,
her hands together and her head
slanted down, silent and waiting.
