God Says Yes To Me
Kaylin Haught
I asked God if it was okay to be melodramatic
and she said yes
I asked her if it was okay to be short
and she said it sure is
I asked her if I could wear nail polish
or not wear nail polish
and she said honey
she calls me that sometimes
she said you can do just exactly
what you want to
Thanks God I said
And is it even okay if I don't paragraph
my letters
Sweetcakes God said
who knows where she picked that up
what I'm telling you is
Yes Yes Yes
4) Yes I Will, Michael Franti 4:20
5) Harvest Moon, Neil Young 5:05
10-Year Anniversary
I dreamed you brought me chickens
several hens
one sweet rooster
We didn’t have a permit or a coop
those chickens just clucked around the backyard
laying eggs among lilies and roses
I tossed the seed without knowing
set out pans to catch the rain
You smiled at my optimism
came up from behind
buried your head in my feathers

2) Keys to the Kingdom, Cedar Hill Refugees and Ralph Stanley 5:10
3) 1961, Jackie Green, 6:08
Going with what fell into place this morning because I got back late last night from a beach on the Sea of Cortez where the waves roll in shallow and a turquoise blue, and the natives live in motorhomes 100 feet from shore, and few tourists come because it's 10 miles down a dirt road, and the ocean cradles you like a fish as you snorkel in search of sea turtles and the fish tacos are tasty and the Coronas are cold ...
4) Down From the Mountain, Fat Paw 15:16
Sometimes one of us stands near the sea
Jean-Michel Maulpoix
He remains there for a long time, starting at the blue, motionless and stiff, as if in a
church, knowing nothing about what weighs upon his shoulders and holds him back,
so weak, hypnotized by the sea. He remembers what may have never happened. He
swims through his own life. He lightly feels its shape. He explores its distant edges.
In honor of the 2011 Davis Feminist Film Festival Thursday and Friday, the April 12 program of Jazz After Dark (8 pm) is a tribute to the great women of jazz: female jazz vocalists spanning the 20th Century and beyond. We’ll start with Bessie Smith (1894 – 1937) and finish with Norah Jones.

Hi there … and welcome to Mountain Mama’s Earth Music … and at last here comes the sun

The Sound of the Sun
by George Bradley
It makes one all right, though you hadn’t thought of it,
A sound like the sound of the sky on fire, like Armageddon,
Whistling and crackling, the explosions of sunlight booming
As the huge mass of gas rages into the emptiness around it.
It isn’t a sound you are often aware of, though the light speeds
To us in seconds, each dawn leaping easily across a chasm
Of space that swallows the sound of that sphere, but
If you listen closely some morning, when the sun swells
Over the horizon and the world is still and still asleep,
You might hear it, a faint noise so far inside your mind
That it must come from somewhere, from light rushing to darkness,
Energy burning towards entropy, towards a peaceful solution,
Burning brilliantly, spontaneously, in the middle of nowhere,
And you, too, must make a sound that is somewhat like it,
