Poem: God damn harpsichords

Harpsichords throwing geodes
and with every lightning strike
the jumping diamonds grabbed high tonality
gathered all sound chiming
and played them before me
surrounding my all, becoming myself

Somehow speech was had with unusual characters
to the sky up
grass dashed green and long
I could feel each individual blade roar
I knew each
by seed and root
through nothing but song
through sensing it to be sung true
from rain mother
sun father

So we all ran singing
as the stream danced with us
and those god damn harpsichords
drove us wild with glee
as a pair of doves
served us tea
and played stringed instruments
for communicational purposes
for poetry through the ceiling. ISBN: 1 4241 8840 7

"Hear me, my chiefs!
I am tired; my heart is
sick and sad. From where
the sun stands I will fight
no more forever."

Chief Joseph - Nez Perce

    Hey Chadwick!

    What's a "none" poetry book?

    Your poetry is used to givin' the ass whippin, not taking it, eh?

    writing a book (or several) on my family's life.
    my brother wants me to write a book about his life.

    put that in your fuckin book...
    haha.
    that's what say to each other these days.

    quite the ordeal.
    it is all true stuff, most folks probably won't believe it though.

    ...God damn harpsichords
  • justamjustam Posts: 21,410
    Lol

    Do any of you actually play these god damn harpsichords? :D

    I do. I have a another concert on one in the next few weeks.

    A good Italian harpsichord is fantastic! It feels great under your fingers and it rings so much longer than you'd imagine. ;)

    and so the harpsichords played
    sounding like butterflies and desperate hands of silk
    the fluttering so gentle
    the chaos so simple
    the sounds so delightful yet dangerous and simply out of tune rather quickly

    the notes lost alongside each piece of pain
    as if insane to the wolves challenging moonlight or raindrops
    and again this is her sounding ride
    she will take all of me inside of her as if the lake ancient and drowning her and i

    ages have flew
    cages have sunk beneath
    this our love locked lips
    our goals
    our glooming city of no name
    the titleless environment
    still beautiful in sound
    one's ears have a chance to escape run away
    or simply stay put
    ride the shadow of stillness
    empty your minds and explore the foundation of plenty through empty

    and so when the daily newspaper print many vacancies
    the sound heard will be bach & handel
    water music on choirs
    against every altar
    with blasting rituals
    some with blood & bones
    horns & collective clovers from the nearby wood

    here some tiny mushrooms gather in great numbers taking over
    as if a stump of hickory or oak
    sometimes barbwire feels like rubbing me down in laughter
    again without ability to movement & have
    i am torn to bits as pleasure fills with sound
    old and new fingers
    age and the end
    youth & the maze of life
    the ear blood the surprise
    the again the picture the free & the desperate coin begging to be spent
    the eaten bread
    soup cold and ready

    sound sound harpsichord sound
    lost sound
    wilderness pain & sun filled blankets cover each stool
    present or void of serpent
    the hungry worm
    rotten apple tree & rainbow of a homeward bound trail

    somehow our meeting of a sexual nature was spoiled to the core
    yet as beautiful as personalized envelopes struggle for our opening
    yours with mine inside
    sword to the wound
    blood to the brace
    uplifted hips to my lips
    cups of tea the musical taste of following love
    simple honeybees gathered next to harpsichords out in the wilds
    the fragrant pillows they spoke here
    said were our skin
    spoken were our souls
    the next daisies were up
    all the colors budding to the sounds
    each piece was at peace
    your lips my ending where i died
    your mouth that took my very life
    no safety net holding us tight
    and in this picture old men collected our senses at the foot of this insane instrument
    the mind of its own
    the wizard of sound
    the ride of carnival
    and of each one a lover to the other
    all of you and all of me between the miles compressed into a few solid inches
    warmed by a furnance of earth, stones, twigs, light & ash
    and in this unseeded garden you can only imagine the chances of glorious rides
    touch and taste
    and the feeling of sound
