i
was thinking about dad & spencer
particularly
an early party -
listening
to jazz, yelping about debussey, even dancing !
about
the melancholy then tragedy
a
sense of romance induces,
about
regret, loss,
undigested
grief -
that
early loss of a mother, louisa.
the
father filling them with the sad beauty,
the
drama of classical music.
then
spencer loving opera, books, poems
(wayne
still has one or two of spencer's poems)
7
finding jazz
which
goes back to africa for roots.
sensual
years, loving years
then
the bloodsucking of children
who
busily suck even
the
bloom off the parent's cheek
