lyrics

three songs - 
I knew something was wrong (text by Dorothea Grossman)
I knew something was wrong
the day I tried to pick up a
small piece of sunlight
and it slithered through my fingers,
not wanting to take shape.
Everything else stayed the same—
the chairs and the carpet
and all the corners
where the waiting continued.

It is not so much that I miss you (text by Dorothea Grossman)
It is not so much that I miss you
as the remembering
which I suppose is a form of missing
except more positive,
like the time of the blackout
when fear was my first response
followed by love of the dark.

Noon Concert (text by Dorothea Grossman)
These frail, white widows 
who get their hair done weekly 
in tight curls, 
like little flowers, 
bend their heads 
until the applause 
says it’s time 
to be brave again.
