The #flamingos, having spent a lovely summer in the garden, have decided to winter over here citing #climate disruption & a bad political situation at home. After all they reminded me of our Mont. constitution & youth activists ... I said okay.

Back then on the coast
sat under Ustad Ali Akbar Khan
&& the music
Allah Rakha, his son Zakir, Ravi Shankar
the dancing story-telling Kathak bells of Chitresh Das
my wooden flute
He said 'music is food ... without I would die'
not like food
&& without these places I would die
sat under Ustad Ali Akbar Khan
&& the music
Allah Rakha, his son Zakir, Ravi Shankar

He said 'music is food ... without I would die'
not like food
