dead.

at least they are not out on the street, they
are careful to stay indoors, those

as their relatives visit
throughout the holidays
the doors closing
behind the dying who die so slowly
behind the dead who are still alive
in your quiet average neighborhood
of winding streets
of agony
of confusion
of horror
of fear
of ignorance.

a dog standing behind a fence.

a man silent at the window.

Text by Charles Bukowski

No Accident
by Myles Boisen

There's a strong history of West Coast prepared piano music - Cage, Harrison, Tenney - and this album continues this tradition. The otherworldly sounds create compelling music that demands listens. Harjo
