Description

suddenly you're in a different place
where things seem to happen in waves
rounded eye is delighted by foam
and a blue suspicion of the sea

so green the fire in leaf and grass
half a summer he paid the last
led down a path by the lunatic fringe
could see the city from the crater's rim

lovers loitered on the porch
that dazzled yesterday's touch

happiness is a hologram
my cup is full, so let it spill
a figment of something said
worn out of my mind

This self-titled debut album incorporates both original phrases and fragments of works by various poets and mystics, including Billy Collins, Ron Padgett, Jim Harrison, Hafiz, Pablo Neruda, Walt Whitman, and others.
