He was wearing Indian clothes
like he’d just stepped off the street from Calcutta.
He’d just led us in singing a Blake song
while he played his harmonium,
was wandering the aisles of the auditorium in intermission. I like 'at intermission' but that's me.
His balding bearded head haloed in long black hair
appeared before me, “Did you sing?”
I said “I tried” and he smiled consider reversing the 'I said' 'I tried' I found who was speaking confusing for awhile coming from the previous line
“that’s all we can ask” he said
and moved on, first taking my hand.
His was as soft as a flower.
I agree with Tiger's suggestions and added one of my own as shown above. I watched the WFB interview you suggested. It was fascinating. I can;t imagine people today engaging in such a nuanced broad discussion these days. There was no 'gotcha' moments or interruption. refreshing.
Anyway, this is a very nice piece, as usual.
Thanks for the read,
