Madeleine Mercier came to Vinnys tonight
when thousands flocked to Alejandro Escovedo
9 of us circled around her songs
as she brought Heaven back to South Austin
She evoked Blaze Foley and Al Grierson
reminded us of Walter Hiatt,Townes Van Zandt
every Austin singer-songwriter snatched from us-
she played them-to remind us to be rememberers
Original trees and nurseries both valid-
wilde and tamed both caged.Today names over truths
we stayed to hear,listen,imbibe,affirm-
every line is eternity replayed.Even space sings!
Her dreaming restored our own-we
who pilgrimaged to living waters to bring our own
remember Nick Travis Sundays @Cafe Caffeine.
She dreamed our wish for deeper dreaming
Her voice opened doors within-and windows
sparkled with a borrowed Light
She sang the circle into tears and smiles
Voice,guitar,lyrics,stars and night.
