STAIRWAY

sound
staining the air with
music

the air
turned to music
staining the soul

armies of music
invading
the land of the ear

my ears
stealing from the air
diaphanous music

the record
writng music
on the air

the music
lost
in itself

sound sculpts
music
out of the air

music
the invisible shape
of sound

"I like the way
the music swims towards me
through the air!"

my little one
afraid of records
"...'cos of the ghosts of the voices..."

the ghosts of voices
trapped
forever in shellac

My little girl used to like STAIRWAY TO HEAVEN and she used to plead with me again and again to "play lady...play lady!" and that's where this bunch of haiku on the subject of music started their journey into being.
