The Lydian Sprite
04:27
|
|||
|
Adrift a cottonweed breeze a fae floats
Her powdered wings beat a scent of acrid mint
Pollen pour and dust diffuse
On flowers that shiver of shears
And what is that she’s holding?

The Ionian Monk
03:21
|
|||
|
A most unremarkable life, the envy of all.
The man of God at peace with
The God of man
Needs no earthly lead
For he remembers his vespers
A languid liturgy
|

The Mixolydian Peddler
02:14
|
|||
|
Merchant on the trade winds
Spins a double-sided coin
Bathed in the oil of snakes
New and improved for the 90’s
The big man in the big suit
Because it’s 5 o’clock somewhere
|

The Dorian Trickster
04:27
|
|||
|
A warlock of words
A charlatan of charades
Locks the door and chucks the key
In an enharmonic river
And makes it look like an accident
|

The Aeolian Knight
03:21
|
|||
|
Waits vigil on his crestfallen sword
For duty or pride
Or for no other reason than he always has
For thrill and despair
Are all the same awash the plumed silver helm
|
||||

The Phrygian Nomad
02:12
|
|||
|
His home of roads
Afloat the dusty axles
That play their wind chimes
On the uneven paths
And a caged bird sees the world
From betwixt its little prison bars
|
||||

The Locrian Lunatic
01:06
|
|||
|
In an evening of mangroves far from my home
I can’t remember where I parked
Or if I drove at all
It’s not that far to walk
But I’ve hurt my foot
And I’ve lost my keys
And perhaps I never owned a car at all
|

Septet
03:20
|
|||
|
It's all fake
The puppets pass off their threads for ballroom attire
And ride the elevator to the penthouse floor
And remark how nice it is to be out of the basement
