sea ponies little sea pony pussycat wants to ride with you, should i say, til our black turns blue away, on our waves little sea pony pussycat wants to ride with you, far away, where our black is blue foamy grottos spray little sea pony, little sea pony pussycat wants to ride with you, should i say, til our black turns blue away, on our waves coral carnaval organs play on the briney bottom each pearl gleams so dully til brought to the blue breasts of day little sea pony, little sea ponies in a mazatlán parade a bubble-starred mantilla in a sea-changed princess’s hair who cries may i ride with you, may our tide again be fair blue dolphin curling on blue, like you i am long from air in silver webs of spiderweeds, our navel nave azul is bare our whisking whiskers waved, but deep in the sight of sea ponies, held in their solemn gaze, we slip away — gone, gone we slip away — gone, gone, we slip away — gone, gone, gone, gone, gone the ocean knew how i love you, before i knew how she’s mapped stranger currents that flew you far, silver star while my casket of gold turned blue, little sea ponies, with your manes foamy, ride my scarlet dawn parade silver stolen eye-pearls, do you leave me encased in coral beneath these seaweed memories, shifting sand boundaries might i be free to just be the way a sea pony sees far off in night, far out of sight, might hold you tight on, on, on on on a sea pony little sea pony pussycat wants to ride with you, should i say, til our black turns blue away, on our waves little sea pony, little sea pony nate s. 1987 - 03 — 2010 - 07 - 16

faith faith, you give me hope though i may not be still with you long, in my agitation love’s strong upper galilee is cold all in this late november evening, to jerusalem, bus weaving i’m dressed in a schoolboy’s coat and now my belly’s full with hunger, but i play a stainless guitar and i know my place is near it’s only fair that i can’t see, if on a wing i am flown near and faith, i smell you near and you are calm, and i say slowly, oh faith, kiss me like blind fingers read it feel my heart beat, please don’t bleed it though you need me to be holy heal me with your touch, i call you beautiful, beautiful! heads turn, we let them, faith! for this is beautiful, beautiful! i can be calm, now i’m with you! and this is beautiful you speak slowly faith, cherish my hope and hold me the length of judea, with her tawny hills and apple let’s eat bread, if there’s no wine when we arrive in the old city, with her saints collapsed in corners worn as hollow as the stones and ancient steps but children run on them, and no fear can blunt our wonder as they hold their colored coats their parents wove for them to take off, like i feel you in the morning, faith, i dream and you are real you stand before me — are you naked? i can’t see you, yet i feel you and i’m shivering til we touch this is the nature of the air here, facing east to the skull mountains are you with me, feel me blush nate s. 1986 - 11 — 2010 - 04 - 22 —

about

Is it 'jazz'? Maybe a colored coat like Joseph's, of many hues and states, presented the listener, that [s]he may wear it well about the mind and body, in keeping with the original meanings of the word. The emphasis is on 'heavy' music: the kinds of rewards 'easy listening' cannot give. Compositions written and performed by NM Scoble
