We’re pretty lucky to be writers & artists. I know the writing life is hard. It’s so much rejection & work & stumbling around. But not everyone gets to put their soul on the page like we do. Imagine those souls flying around untethered, without a perch. That has to be its own kind of pain.

Have been wanting to place a poem in Pedestal Magazine since I started submitting, so it means a great deal to have “Lilacs, Music, Boy” featured in the newest issue. Big thanks to John Amen and the editorial team for this joy, this kindness! Read the issue: thepedestalmagazine.com/issues/issue...

Lilacs, Music, Boy

Music really does heal all wounds!! I will believe that until the day I die. —BLK,
8/18/2020

I conclude with a sound
that is a boy in a field with his sketch
pad penciling lilacs across
a face. A boy, by his own remedy,
trusting to drown out the warships & human energy. But music is not an escape
to somewhere else—& why this somewhere else is not the real thing when
certainly it is? A garden everywhere
is a slab of concrete. No window
to leap from. No final wind exiting
the body. Those with foresight care little
for the atmosphere & what it listens
to, but as you would, Brother, you attempt
to bandage the sound. You hide, first, the noise from the music then realign the proper sense with the proper task. Death is scarcely viable & time is trembling. So are the lilacs. Maybe now you can go home.
