My parents were married on the Winter's Solstice, which has been a running joke ever since. They'll celebrate their 60th anniversary on December 21, 2023.  [I originally wrote and recorded this for FAWM in February, but re-recorded this today (with some lyrical tweaks) in honor of their actual anniversary!]

Your North Star (like a plume) / February 27, 2024 gregory antoniono

 
Verse 1
A deep line on a
faded brown spine
A book you recall
She read to you

In your childhood
A chair made of wood
She sat by the wall
Then close she drew

Chorus
Kissed you good-night
A flickering light
Her shadow slips
Out of your room

And It’s all here
Her memory so clear
Your past rises up
Like a plume

Verse 2
The hallway
You hear her say
Get out of your bed
It’s time for school

it takes flight
hummingbird light
Her voice in your head
Still sings to you

Chorus
She’s your north star
She is who you are
And still feel the warmth
Of her womb

But she’s gone now
Present somehow
Your past rises up
Like a plume

Bridge
Oh are you only goin’ back
To recover what you lack
Til you find that when you do
All she was is inside you, you?

Verse 3
And it takes flight
hummingbird light
Her voice in your head
Still sings to you

Chorus
But she’s gone now
Present somehow
Your past rises up
Like a plume

your north star (like a plume) / gregory antoniono

You Don't Know

Here in this place you find yourself
on a street where 
you know no one else,
people out and dressed for Saturday night
pass by.
Don’t try
speaking
with people 
you don’t know..

..if you’re welcome here,
if you’d fit
should they notice you near.
That’s always the question
you ask yourself;
Will they care
i am here?
or will they
send me away?
You don’t know

CHORUS
And you don’t care, that’s the strange thing
cause you’re alone here.
You have yourself, that’s the main thing you remember
when you feel alone.
You don’t know
and you don’t 
seem to care...

...about this place you’ve lately gotten to,
a city of streets where 
no one knows you.
People out and dressed for 
Monday morning
but when evening falls down
people about town
mad dash home
to places
you may never know.

CHORUS

oooh oooh oooh oooh
oooh oooh oooh oooh
Manicured yards competing
up and down the blocks,
with colored light displays year round,
what kind of place 
have you found?
You don’t know

You don't know
You don't know
ooh ooh ooh ooh
ooh ooh ooh ooh
