Harvest ———FALL———

Soul

A year ago today an old friend invited me to his family's thanksgiving

Mahjong He played jazz guitar sweetly in my left ear and whispered strategies into the long forgotten secret of our proximity Green suede case He lent me his dad’s guitar

———WINTER———

Healing I played it for hours and hours and hours Deconstructing sounds into spirits Sinking beneath my formal education for something more scintillating The unrefined unrefined muse within the muse

———SPRING———


Wishes He moved

And took with him my first harvest Into the street, we shared music on the dark open breeze of his front porch

Horses This is not that guitar But the Seed of it’s Fruit ———SUMMER———


Showers A new friend brought two guitars to our camping trip We played into the sinking night

Sealing My first North American camping trip I played it for hours and hours and hours Soaking the Earth and finding myself buried within Her Memories Dawn “You can keep that guitar if you want” he offered Down

Gift

Before I could get it home

'She Broke My G String' There’s a separate quite odd, quite funny story about how Collapsing Something convoluted about this and that and that and this Planting and gardening and harvesting Hours and hours and hours ———FALL———

*in a thick French accent

Lemur




Rippling across the continent I took a trip to see an old soul friend Hours and Ours and Ours My eyes unable to discern what Destiny Manifested

Generational Rust and Yellowing Browns

The title of an up and coming upcoming next…

Where the wind comes sweeping down the protruding veins,

Injecting the grain with a colonial plague Something is killing the Native Spirits And this is the message She gifted me the night I returned:


Lift


Sift

These waves of woven shapes pour out of Us

The unrefined unrefined Shifting away from the performance of Products that once lost Our Voice This song has no meaning

Just a feeling The feeling has no meaning

Thong Justice and just was and just is the milling of emotions Hours and hours and hours of brushing chords and fingering steeling


Land


Stealing

From the Almighty Heavenly Bog

“In the depth of fever

I wanted to give up last night, but I didn’t”



That line That there line is why we are here Oh, Capricious Cornucopia

Goodbye

Harvest 🌞🤲🏽
