“I was having trouble sleeping. This is not an uncommon thing, but because it eluded me so often, I had a passion for sleep. I had rituals that I rendered unto sleep, as though serving a goddess. White noise was key to the equation. I had a fan in the bedroom that rivaled a freight train in sound. I scented the sheets with sunflower spray, and kept an electric blanket on low for warmth. Surely sleep would be enticed.”

through the stiffened point of pain it stares at dawn
who will notice in the wild concert
if one bird fails to sing”

“When the music note grows tired
we will land on the wings of a guardian -
One already accustomed to my attempts to fly
One aware of my weakness for a beautiful try”

“I will sing in this tree until the stars alert the moon
and the moon will turn a big head to listen
While one lone woman in another town,
will smile in her sleep to the familiar sound
Someone I will not know will hear my singing
and play the blues on a horn of long rapture
and a laughing man traveling with his window down,
will whisper, Yes, oh yes indeed!
I will sing in this tree.”
