Last of the Summer Flies

At last you have left - my insecticide is spent 
Though your screw driver voice is reverberating   
Your tongue it got bent - drilling holes in my head  
Now I’m smoothing hurts by restorative ironing 
And though they must have a role in ecosystems          
I’m so glad to see the last of the summer flies           
I’m so glad to see the last of the summer flies          

I guess you’ll find a niche – with some human who can reach
To find that tiny star behind the grating
Your sun first shone so bright – enough to launch a kite
But that superficial wind was soon deflating
And though . . . .

It’s in the news each day
Insects will fade away
Unless we realise
Every living thing has a vital place

I wish you the very best – maybe both of us are blessed
We were counting down our days so surely numbered
Hey you’re not to blame – I’m dreamy and often vague 
And for the earth I’ll pray for flies now just departed

LAST OF THE SUMMER FLIES

SO FAR AWAY (by Wane of Summer and Annie Smart)

Hey…. Thanks for dropping by. It’s Spring here, and you’d figure I’d be in a better mood. Ha. I just came inside from a little walk as the wind kept getting stronger, with a new front blowing in. So this is a dark song for dark times. I played the acoustic parts on a tiny guitar-like instrument called a Puerto Rican Cuatro. An old friend got it as a gift, and then gave it to me. Since I play it, I am called a Cuatrista in certain circles. The slide parts of the song didn’t come out as well as I thought they would, so I played the recorder instead… c'est la vie. Hopefully this summer, I will sit down with the recorder and figure out the notes and scale structures b/c I just wing it now, making stuff up as I go. I hope you don’t mind. (Some do) I am just having fun, and laugh when my old fingers actually cover the finger holes, so I don’t sound like a frantic goose running from the axe. OK, that was pretty dark. Especially sad for the goose. My chores now in the garden entail digging up grass infested flowerbeds and moving large garden rocks around. Also preparing the vegetable garden for planting… That entails picking out small rocks, (there’s a lot of them and I filled in some pot holes in the road with them.), and digging up and transplanting self-seeded volunteers such as violas, feverfew, mother’s wort, valerian, mint, garlic, small rhubarbs, some stray lettuce seedlings, and parsley and replanting them elsewhere. I let most of those plants go to seed, so I can collect seed in the fall, but the birds often get there first and spread some seeds around. Then I prepare the beds for planting in a few weeks or so depending on the weather. I also have check and put up some more rabbit fence, which the rabbits laugh at and sneak in anyway. Hope you’re all doing OK out there in the world. Mark

JAZZ LO - FI MELODY

Third track from this project, inspired by Ann Leckie's book, "Ancillary Justice". One of the instruments I chose for this came with that lo-fi, warm, white noise, analogue, vinyl feel. You can't miss it, I've let it dominate the recording... or should I say, I've let the compressor decide! In the end, I think it helps with the slightly bluesy, smoky guitar lick. Breq's developing relationship with Seivarden is a central theme in the book. 

The illustration is by Tom Fowler (on tumbler). It shows Breq holding Seivarden by the scruff of the neck... very different to the two of them on the book cover.  I love the way Leckie's book plays with the reader's gender perceptions.

Woah (We Tried)

Can I Still Love?
Music and Lyrics by Mike Krath

I see a shadow,
on the wall,
is it her?
I don’t know,

I hear a hand scrape,
across my door,
is she back?
I can’t guess. 

On and on,
life goes on,
I’ve gotten old,
and the beat of my heart is weak,
can I still love?

I smell a face 
from distant past,
is she here?
Not a hint. 

I feel her pains, 
that once were real,
by me?
I don’t know. 

On and on,
life goes on,
I’ve gotten old,
and the beat of my heart is weak,
can I still love?

Can I Still Love?
