Steve Forbert - 2005

in this shady grove
that is not shady
sun bearing on bare skin
intense July  

sound bleeding from other stages bothers him
has to adjust his key to match  

stands stage alone
white shirt open at collar
signature curls
harmonica and
scratched scuffed guitar 

voice
not really a voice
a rasp that scrapes at the melodies  

singing
good worlds are hard to find  

this round patch of windless prairie
surrounded by Manitoba woods
is world now  

intense brain
connects
to our brains
 
each inner world merging into
community of worlds
rasping along
in one orbit
around sun
