—-<§>—-
a thought arrives
sideways
or maybe
it never left
just waited
….
there
in the seam
of the window
wind
finding its way
again
coffee cools
forgotten
remembered
forgotten
….
but once
I trusted
straight lines
maps
edges
that held
….
now
feather
ash
memory
passing through
passing through
my hands
….
a crow
lands—
or something like it—
we pause
together
brief
shared
gone
….
there was a street
once
I can’t return
no map
no path
only
the feeling
still there
precise
like breath
held
too long
….
why
do certain moments
stay
stay
no answer
just this
….
the day
continuing
indifferent
generous
unfinished
….
and me
carried
or following
carried
or following
not knowing
not needing
to know….
not needing
<~>

Joni pulled together some fucking primo players on this one…
…my gift to you below — the entirety of that landmark concert.
