Shallow Water Warning

from So Many Funerals by Maynard and the Musties

/

about

I (Maynard) participated in a Helen Adam festival at the Bowery Poetry Club. She was a San Francisco Renaissance poet, originally from Scotland, who wound up in New York City, spent her last couple years homeless pushing a shopping cart. She fell into both a beat sort of school, and mystic, wrote long pieces in the Scottish tradition, also plays.

lyrics

My love was walking in the sun
Beyond a golden meadow.
She led me where the ripples run
I thought the water shallow
Reflecting only summer sky
So light the chains that bound me,
So like a god on earth was I
Before my darling drowned me...
