The Key of Light
for Anthone, Marissa & Mona

songs are as evident as bruises
that something across the ages
down the ages occurred

that turned individuals
to song writing/into song writers

song writers/these songs
across the ages, screeching down

skid marks upon the runway
where they landed

from heaven arriving
provide us uplift

in a world gravity-bound
by gravity, weighed down
