EVERY ANGEL IS TERRIFYING

Duino Elegies–Ranier Maria Rilke

Wheels On Her Feet

Wheels On Her Feet

January 23, 2023 Jerry King Comments 1 comment

Monday morning, waking early before light, — couldn’t sleep.  What can one do but adjust…  I suppose the loss of anyone is a stand-alone experience, an uprooting, a sensation of gratitude and regret.  Fuck…  Al’s passing was timely in that his living years were full.  I mean his stories “ran over,” as a glass of beer poured on a warm summer’s day overflows with foam and flavor.  Still, from my standpoint and that of others who knew him, his departure was too soon.  Al Lykins.  A friend who felt like a brother.

Al would approve of this tune.  The lyric celebrates the electricity of male-female attraction, that difference, and the spark-of-freedom conveyed by this exuberant scene.

Skateaway by Dire Straits.  Lyrics by Mark Knopfler
