Each, Every & All (a love letter)



a love letter (each, every, and all)

In kindness show me each and every show,

I’d like to feel it all.

because not just yet,

I have not just felt

each crook, nook, cranny or depth to be.

Sell our soul to every which demon.

The wine we receive full figure, heady and stout


We’ll feel totality under our skin.

Our belonging will sprawl out.

Along all coasts, boasts, harsh marshes,
recording our grin...

repeats, breakdowns, turnbacks hitherto unknown to our kin...

You’ll play the jacks and I’ll play the diamonds.

Turn those lies each on their head.

cut every tie, ‘cause in their stead,

we’ll clean, dice and season

along valleys, glens, meadows, seasons...

all to be fed.

Compose each scale on top one
another.

Absorb every melody, recording for no ledger.

and reflect nothing, all cares for no other,

to be finally warmed,

by each, every, and all measure
