http://kdrt.org/node/6891

1) Womankind, Annie Lennox 4:9

Male and female represent the two sides of the great radical dualism. But in fact they are perpetually passing into one another. Fluid hardens to solid, solid rushes to fluid. There is no wholly masculine man, no purely feminine woman.
Margaret Fuller

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

Hi there … and welcome to Mountain Mama’s Earth Music … and today going with it

http://kdrt.org/station/archives/123

1) Back down South, The Kings of Leon 4:01
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.

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

2) The Long Road, Eddie Vedder 5:31

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,

Little Stones at My Window
by Mario Benedetti
translated by Charles Hatfield

Once in a while
joy throws little stones at my window
it wants to let me know that it's waiting for me
but today I'm calm
I'd almost say even-tempered
I'm going to keep anxiety locked up
and then lie flat on my back
which is an elegant and comfortable position
for receiving and believing news

who knows where I'll be next
or when my story will be taken into account
who knows what advice I still might come up with
and what easy way out I'll take not to follow it

Hi there … and welcome to Mountain Mama’s Earth Music … and today we’re feelin good

Everything Good between Men and Women
by C. D. Wright
has been written in mud and butter
and barbecue sauce. The walls and
the floors used to be gorgeous.
The socks off-white and a near match.
The quince with fire blight
but we get two pints of jelly
in the end. Long walks strengthen
the back. You with a fever blister
and myself with a sty. Eyes
have we and we are forever prey
to each other’s teeth. The torrents
go over us. Thunder has not harmed
anyone we know. The river coursing
through us is dirty and deep. The left
hand protects the rhythm. Watch
your head. No fires should be
unattended. Especially when wind. Each
receives a free swiss army knife.
The first few tongues are clearly
preparatory. The impression
made by yours I carry to my grave. It is
just so sad so creepy so beautiful.
Bless it. We have so little time
to learn, so much... The river

Case Against April
By Adrian Blevins
For a long time I was absolutely idiotic,
by which I mean I lashed and pulsed
like the cosmos of tissue at present on fire
inside the bodies of my students—
it being springtime, it being the season
of being naked under the cherry trees.
I'm not saying dig a hole and fall in it;
I'm not saying buy a cabin and a nanny goat
and walk around re-naming the forget-me-nots
after the lovers who said they'd slay you
and, well, did—for who ever heard
of a plant named Greg? Nevertheless,
sex is laughable; it's ultimately ridiculous;
it's what God invented since he couldn't have
Comedy Central. And still the young people
who aren't pushing their tongues
against the tongues of others
are weeping like babies
being prodded with thermometers
for the lack of good tongues
to lean their own tongues against.
I hear them complaining

The Bad Mother
by Susan Griffin
The bad mother wakes from dreams
of imperfection trying to be perfection.
All night she’s engineered a train
too heavy with supplies
to the interior. She fails.
The child she loves
has taken on bad habits, cigarettes
maybe even drugs. She
recognizes lies. You don’t
fool me, she wants to say,
the bad mother, ready to play
and win.
This lamb who’s gone –
this infant she is
pinioned to – does not listen,
she drives with all her magic down a
different route to darkness where
all life begins.

5) This Woman’s Work, Kate Bush 3:34
6) Last Lonely Goodbye, Little Country Giants 2:51

Your Family Reunion
By Perie Longo

I will never be able to keep your family straight.
Is the one with the short, brown hair the sister
or cousin of the woman who was the wife
of a polygamist and why won’t she talk to her?
