lyrics

Wedding beside a Steamboat House

The chimney is askew.
The banana plant is brown.
Bricks are stacked and strewn.
Spouts arc across a pool.
Roots bind to roots beneath decay,
And childen chirrup next to swings
By a Pilot House in New Orleans' Lower 9th Ward.

The earnest vows--
The choke in Evan's throat,
Nina likewise intent
As she listens and speaks,
Sure as an arc--
The courage of their carrying through--
Inspire smiles into champagne.

Now has taken a while to come.
Because--because--because ...
All artists are complex
And all seek a love to hold them.
Further, some say
Music and dancing make make for perfect senses.
The player weaves with his wand's dreams,
The dancer goes where her hips know,
As the Iguanas sing en Espanol,
The Pines overhead like woodblocks
From Kyoto.
