Issa's Sunday Service, #17

Here's a tip of the hat to the end of summer by way of one heck of an obscure psych band from the 60's, Fever Tree. The literary reference is even more obscure; not many folks break out the Thomas Hardy referenced rock songs, then, now, or ever. It's one of those tunes you listen to 3 or 4 times though and you just can't stop.

I've been listening to it for over 35 years.

Here's a pair of poems from issue #23, back in 1991, that complement each other well. Enjoy.

fear

the root
of all prophecy

Charlie Mehrhoff

Flat Lands

Fear of isolation comes
with the territory.

This meditation breeds tornadoes.

Paul Hadella

the newly arrived goose
lifts one leg...
deep meditation

Issa
translated by David Lanoue

best,
Don
