TRIO CONCERT
[| OOK where people have come blindfold and in breath to find bullion lying face upward high on the cliff gold head seeming never beaten by storm of wind or cloud ear never stifled with more than enough sea-noise like a shell’s insistent golden echo life-lasting yet begun here trom three men and their three hours’ death. Let us unbandage our eyes. Look where three musicians underground hack rock rub two frail notes together to blaze light enough for seeing excavation of another mind’s night. Bare to the heart skin bound with chain of sweat they die a little for us. Look where we unwind our own glistening fetter of shillings to walk their cliff picking too casually as the picking up of a toy gold block their three hours’ death their sun and sum of bullion dug loose and risen from clay dark.-Quick, quick blindfold again walk high on their gold cliff. ~2jenet: treme
