Is a city I believe
in Conneticut which is connected to
New York… New York
which is a city
built around Manhatten
and people never leave
the island… islanders
they say and they are happy…

I I I invernal scream
I I eye eire inward looking
island… oh..no
the words are tracking round
not inspired but
searching for center
and the muse
retreats
skirts rustling
in the spring leaves
and it doesn’t matter anymore
the anger and the joy
the small apex of life
that is the moment explodes
and the muse laughs a hollow echoing
sound that ends at the cresendo…
ohhh baaaaby… oooohhhh babbby
come dance… come dance…
to the rythem of the music
of the soul unleashed… ohhhoooohooho
baby… dddddaaaaaaaaannnnnnce!
