Warwick Radio: The Voice of Warwick, Rhode Island

D.K. Mckenzie, Warwick poet, musician, and creator of The Poe Underground, explores the possibilities of combining the voice of the guitar with the haunting words and expressions of poetry.

In this episode, hear the poems Encounter by Polly Chase and Luscious Beach by D.K. Mckenzie accompanied by improvised classical guitar.

Encounter

You move alone the avenue like one

Alone, exultant, among mountain snows;

And through your hair the wind of morning blows;

And in your eyes is quenched the flaming sun.

I did not run the race that you have run;

I do not care what pride your triumph knows.

You would not understand the dreams of those

From whom the thirst for victory is gone.

The surging crowds efface you, as the tide

Obliterates a footprint on a shore.

So sands are sucked by time! You are no more

Than the blurred trace of emptiness defied.

When you have passed, cool spaces cover me

Like the unchallenged waters of the sea.

Luscious Beach

Luscious beach with the naked moon

breaking through the blue

Seagulls walk and run

remind me of myself (somehow)

Maybe it's (all) the wandering and exploring they do

Everyone's looking for something

Some often, some seldom, some all the time

That's me

I think I'll drive off into the sunset now

like a free bird?
