Dear Old Soul by Kurt Swinghammer She walked outside to putter all day Cookie cutter sun made a silhouette of shade An upside down twin of grey A single echo of a dear old soul Her garden was a symphony of photosynthesis The flowers were switched on in psychedelic bliss Her Siamese companion picked a bouquet Of day glow roses for a dear old soul Once she cast her shadow On the things she cared about Once she lost her shadow the world was without In the backyard we gathered round Spread the ashes as the rain came down Mother go to mother earth go back to the ground In the springtime rise like a rose Rise like a rose Rise like a rose For dear old souls

She Needed More Loops by Kurt Swinghammer What would a handwriting expert say About the way She signed her name Perfectly in every way And every time Exactly the same What would this analysis reveal Otherwise concealed By appearances What do we see with graphology Her personality Expresses less* She needed more loops She needed more loops in her life

Art Thief 01:14
Art Thief by Kurt Swinghammer Art thief art thief Steal me a Georgia O’Keef SO I can study it in solitude In a suburban subdivision Alone in my monster home Art thief art thief Grab me a masterpiece A luscious floral you can crawl inside She painted life so rich & fertile In bone dry New Mexico Before the masses Start looting the masters I’ll learn from her work

Jack Layton And Grace Appleton By Kurt Swinghammer Mansbridge had tears in his eyes When he told the country the news Jack Layton had died And a little part of me died too The part that had faith A politician could be on my side A leader I could believe in Who stood for what was right But Mansbridge didn’t know Later on that very day In a Fonthill nursing home Grace Appleton passed away Jack Layton and Grace Appleton Jack Layton and Grace Appleton Two names that never were mentioned In the same breath She wasn’t famous and she wasn’t rich She lived and voted conservatively But she was the president Of the Niagara Falls Horticultural Society They lit up the CN Tower Bright orange of the NDP And my Mom’s favorite flower Her garden full of tiger lillies

Song About An Instrumental By Kurt Swinghammer Music for my Mother Who only once ever told me She liked the music I was playing On the stereo She asked “What do you call it” I told her about the artist And his concept of making music For LaGuardia And travellers waiting to depart The British import of Music For Airports Kept playing on 30 years later In an tourist town chapel I played that music At the funeral for my dad And my Mother didn’t cry But she mentioned the unusual music That didn’t sound happy and didn’t sound sad Another traveller waiting to depart At 91 my Mother Called out to her brother Who had passed away nearly 20 years before And as she lay there dying The music played on
