haiku #590: dreadful the stream / without so much as a name! / early-summer rains

about a friend, more dead than alive.

=============
Written and produced by yours truly.

VS1
We dug and dug                      
All night and day
Til we finally found your empty grave
It seems that someone got here first 
And left us with these piles of dirt.

Pre-chorus
Did the monsters come and take you in?
Did they make you take off all your skin?
Are you free to go, are you trapped inside?
Did they burn those holes inside your eyes?

Chorus
Fall asleep slowly
Tracing the if onlys
You could still hold me
Or call me if you're lonely

VS2
We called and called into the wind
But it  blew your name back 'round again
I think I saw you once in town
Was it just your shadow creeping round
Did we ever really know your name
When we called it was that too in vain
When the monster came did you try to hide
Am I a fool to think that you're alive

Chorus
Fall asleep slowly
Tracing the if onlys
You could still hold me
Or call me if you're lonely

Bridge
Oh Mr. Bones, Bones
Call me if you're home
I'm still waitin' here

dreadful the stream
without so much as a name!
early-summer rains

by: Yosa Buson

One of the four great haiku masters, Yosa Buson studied both Japanese and Chinese poetry. He was also an accomplished painter, and most of his poems were accompanied by paintings, resulting in a more diverse and individual set of works than the one by his main historical influence, Basho.

Noise is fun to make. So its even better when it is Joyful. Hailing from upstate New York Andrew has enjoyed playing folk-jazz, Noise, and Americana in various outfits. while writing more main stream music Andrew has embarked on playing a much more personal music that is being documented for all to enjoy!
