Loops, Voice, Harmonica  

for Dave Ferguson

Layered, hypnotic grooves;
your urgent song;
a blaze of notes
that climbs through the ceiling
and down to your shoes.

Performer

– for Lucy Kruger

On stage you move seamlessly
between the serene flame
of the outer person
and the wisdom and hunger
of the inner.

       *   

The purity and fire
of your voice –
there’s nowhere you
could go with it
that I
wouldn’t follow.

Benguela

This music burns
and shudders into darkness
its spirit
is deathless.

 - Eduard Burle
