celebrations are entirely in order: Happy Hornbill
jhaffur khan azad darakth: choral keyboard, silver flute, tympany
Joel Banner Baird, harpsichord, own voices, marimba
Happiness is a Hornbill
for EYC
Happiness is a hornbill
winging on fig-fulls
tail adjusted to head weight
smile so wide it meets
behind his neck,
gliding to the next leafy treat,
can’t stop laughing at the fact,
as the city snarls below,
it’s a miracle he's still intact!
-jhaffur khan azad darakht, 26-2-96
