I CAME TO STEAL THE DARKNESS
I CAME TO STEAL THE DARKNESS
On my oyster afternoon
the sea’s a safety, how we rise
then the grass grows back, again
and the short history of summer
is when you work you get your beer.
Why the weight is worth its gold
I’ll never recommend. We may be
deprived of the life we need to live…

Extraordinary set, Amy.
The sound and pivots fit,
the short-lines, slow and
examining or intimate, the blurs
semi-translucent. No fear of
eloquence. All substituitons
happy where they live. And they live.
..or sumthin.. Enjoyed.
Thank you, Jim!
