The Lovers’ Chronicle
Dear Muse,

what time is it
marked by confusion,
almost always,
without apparent purpose
just had to learn
to trust this vision
to understand at last
determination now,
to give the stories,
the songs, the art
some kinda form
to make it all matter
the time is now

a fine evenin’
a walk without
any definite purpose
a trail that loses itself
at the gate of a cemetery
near the edge of a mesa
buffalo grass, metal angel statue,
granite tombs, rocks, wind,
and a forty mile view
surroundin’ us on all sides
we sit on a tomb
and there, seated
in the dyin’ sunlight,
while the valley
and plains below
git lost in shadow,
we talk together
the pure air playin’ round us,
the magnificent landscape
beneath our feet
impart serenity
to thoughts
we stay up there late
talkin’ of what matters…
of beauty and sorrow
and as of old, we talk
of partin’,
may it never happen

Bret you are right
it is a fine question
one i asked regularly
for about 40 years
on more than one
occasion, i thought
it was time, but no
reckon it was not
the right question,
for me anyhow
now i am asked out
and i just wanna
spin some vinyl,
and spin the totem
may it never wobble

Today is the birthday of Édouard Boubat (born Montmartre, Paris 13 September, 1923 – died Paris 30 June 1999); photojournalist and art photographer.
He studied typography and graphic arts at the École Estienne and worked for a printing company before becoming a photographer. In 1943 he was subjected to service du travail obligatoire, forced labour of French people in Nazi Germany, and witnessed the horrors of World War II. He took his first photograph after the war in 1946 and was awarded the Kodak Prize the following year. He travelled the world for the French magazine Réalités, where his colleague was Jean-Philippe Charbonnier, and later worked as a freelance photographer. French poet Jacques Prévert called him a “peace correspondent” as he was humanist, apolitical and photographed uplifting subjects. His son Bernard Boubat is also a photographer.

For the song of the day we turn once again to our friend Bret Mosley (Bretmosley.com) and his song Lawrence KS, in which you find the question of the day.
