String Quartet Excerpts

Here is a new excerpt from the last two movements of my string quartet I've been finishing up this summer.

I recently got the chance to play through the final movement with some friends, and will be working on getting the full piece performed at WOU this fall.

Love's Swift Wheels

Love's Swift Wheels

Love's swift wheels rush you

safely to my arms tonight;

The darkened, cool roads smooth

your approach for my kisses.

Flee the tasks that kept you:

no more delay for us.

Your touch is all I seek to keep,

your body at my side.

Tender talk can wait for morning,

just give me warm embraces soon, for

There's no better use of wheels or words

Than to speed true loves to their loves.

Haiku: Phone Me

Haiku

Business must be good:

Another phone book is here.

Call me; show you care.
