Title track to the new forthcoming collection of songs Peace Comes To Shove.

lyrics

peace comes to shove

American Jazz
in wild bloom
like Albert Ayler
improvisation
disappointed you are
I know
I know but . . .
frustrated by inability for calmness
sadly, peace comes to shove
sadly, peace comes to shove
only time will tell
if I remain a friend
as a precaution
please take this
as a
as a parting amend
earlier I took
a sunflower petal from my pocket
and snuck it into your favourite locket
the one with
the children photographs
thinking that when you opened it
you would know
you would know
that I was telling you
I loved you
I loved you
even though, I could no longer show it

a trio of crows
flowers raining petal drops
from above
just past dawn
my grandmother’s patchwork quilt
and you
stretched out on the lawn
a first double take
your hair down
never before seen
tempted to avert a midsummer walk
and turn it into a midsummer dream
but knowing small talk necessary
for any kind of advance
I twirled my cane
twirled my cane
spun askance
tapped a rhythm
down the garden path
all the while
all the while
imagining your beautiful smile
lingering

flowers raining petal drops
from above
peace comes to shove
an opening locket
your beautiful smile
lingering
