I’ve been trying to write some music around which to frame Mike’s poem from a little further down.

These lines in particular really got to me:

“a structure
structure-less
sought where it isn’t
mown ”

“Against
the grass uncut
as mist falls
bending
light over
wrappers and cans
round beneath the rusted bridge
where a man hangs
by a cable”

” maps litter the backseat
taken from the center
where the man speaks a history
that turns in and over itself
wrapping me by”

I think there’s a song in there. A really pretty/creepy song.

Also, I need to get this whole new site thing figured out so I can post the newest recordings we’ve been working on. We’ve settled on the name Dash Eight (a nod to Piedmont/Chesapeake air and the Wico./O.C. Regional airport at which Mike and I always seem to end up…) That’s right- we have a name for real this time! Website can’t be too far behind, can it? Stay tuned. For a while.
