We loved you Anni
For Annilow
Annilow has died. She left without
telling us what was happening, though
there were hints. She talked of
walking pneumonia, left us photos
of crop circles, reminded us
of musical events, grumbled that
some of us hated AARP,
in all brought herself to us
and was herself our friend.
She's left us now in the way
we knew her and we have
the gifts she gave, music,
her role as a teacher, her
opinons, African travelogue and mystery.
It's not the song that's sung,
nor the singer, but the singing
the divine now, the presence,
and though we'll never know
beginnings and ends, we witness
them and bring our own songs
singing what and whom we love.
