Last week while listening
to LPs, we crooned between
rooms as we sorted things out,
‘take this message to my brother,
you will find him everywhere’…
And it’s true that spinning
records easily relaxes things
in relative need of sorting out,
tuning into a father and brother,
gathering his everlasting care…
Please keep on keeping on
(Steve Miller making now his
rounds): we’ll figure things out
with benison of sister and brother
and creatures faithfully there…
‘Ten Years Gone’ glides by,
whoever put the stylus down
upon that track—I’m fading out
right now—God hold this brother
bellowing our parting prayer…
Emmanuel! Fait accompli!
