FULL MOON ON TOP OF A CHAMPAGNE PALM'S TIP

to filter the light from the morning sun
i keep the venetian blinds steady
no hand shall completely open it
there is beauty in halftones: half open half close

morality is more like it: one door is partially closed
another window is partially open which
amounts to the same thing: a compromise
sometimes you do not speak completely the word
to give the listener an opportunity to discern you
to make it think that it could be either that he did not
completely hear it or that he is minding another sound
oh, you do not have to understand to really feel
what should be hidden and what should be kept out
there is a way to respect sound
apart from noise, to hear the song and not remember
to set it out apart from you and then to forget.
