Night Music: Chelsea Morning

 

When I listened to this the other day I was struck by the similarity of the backing vocals that come in the last third of “Chelsea Morning” with the vocal work on Laura Nyro’s collaboration with Labelle on the “Gonna Take A Miracle” album.

Poem: Harvest

 

It’s raining;

trapped in the house again

with a bottle and the balance

of the sandwich

from yesterday:

I’ll stretch the bread from here to tomorrow.

Harvesting the crumbs

from carpet and cardigan,

I will not be worried

in the midst of such plenty.

It’s raining again.
