glitterbread

a poem by Brian Moses that I put to music today. Banjo ukulele, voice, wooden frog percussion, laundry scrub, crows' noises, drawings

I'm so bored with pitta bread I want glitterbread. Bread that gleams when it catches the light, bread that glows like the stars at night, Bread the sparkles then starts to shimmer, bread that dazzles and never grows dimmer, Bread that lights my way back home, bread that shines like a precious stone I want glitterbread all the time, something new that's totally mine.

maggie and milly and molly and may

I was thinking about partings and loss today. While reading, I came across this poem by E. E Cummings. It describes what I feel about loss and partings. I put it to music and made the drawings. i used a plastic uke to make that beat. 

here is the poem: 

maggie and milly and molly and may 

went down to the beach(to play one day) 

and maggie discovered a shell that sang 

so sweetly she couldn't remember her troubles,

and milly befriended a stranded star 

whose rays five languid fingers were; 

and molly was chased by a horrible thing 

which raced sideways while blowing bubbles:

and may came home with a smooth round stone 

as small as a world and as large as alone. 

For whatever we lose(like a you or a me) 

it's always ourselves we find in the sea.
