there’s never one reason for leaving
(though mistaken heads nod
in approval at fables offered up
as truth) for crows will fly
in any direction they choose
(just ask van gogh)…
and the shivered tenor
of a voice singing the blues
so soulfully rendered
in a moment unplugged
which drifts through the pines
as his song unwinds
is executed for its own particular sake.
