Travis Good
had walked into the bar
as though he were weathering a storm
headlong
letting his head case out the joint
before he took his body along.
this is his presence on stage
his neck bent forward
his feet closing the show
playing with an intensity that never wavers
a fever never broken.
I don’t even enter my dreams the way
Travis Good enters
everywhere and everything.
