Splintered Voice One Hand Piano (Piano by Marco Lucchi)
Text by Jeff Gburek (re-working of The Way of All Cacti, from my album The Perfect Storm)

My world never moved on from there
What should I dare become?
Ready drifter, astro-naught,
multi-hyphenate creative?
Beginning on the margin again
Beginner, constantly "un-"
Constantly blown by solar winds
My follicles untether
Rods skip cones, my focus
pan-galactic smithereens
What flakes of sound can write this SNOW?
which now loses as "S"and then an "O"
What next?

I've never advanced a single step
Equilibrium, homeostasis
Tight fit, clinging fabric of pulsar
Entropy, everything so near,
no city, no center.
Just a fan blowing a breeze
for no face. Just a poem
spoken for, broken from
a gathering of the nations of words
Who-hoa. Heart-beat caldera
Glowing blind, thumped in
hunch-back gloom
Must mist sybilline whispers
The poem really starts to come to life
when it being read for the first time
as if it were being written in the mind of the reader
who does a double-take, trying to figure
where it all comes from, where it's going
where the poem is coming from
inside itself, siphoned outward
,into the poem you see
while the other way around
vice versaback into itself
pushing forwardinto meaning
in the search for true
credibility in expressing
what is or is not
really going on

Vociferous shift
muttering mutteringmatter mistmust gathering
clatterous leavesover tongue long gone
skull buried silence the silence
the poet does not lose
nor gain control over
anything language
content or form
leaping within the locus
of uncontrollable forces
showing cosmos body...

My world never moved from there...
