There is Music in the Rattle

of the Chains


Marge Merrill




From the Book:


Jazz Workshop


I already know

I’ll take an IPA

to a table

where I can see

the band

in birth.


Tinhorn

with bionic ears,

I got nothing

to add

to chords and tunings

registers,

mix.


I’m just here

for the poetry.


If I leave

with no ideas of my own

no beginnings gleaned

no smoke

no sweat

nothing to pull me

from my bed

demanding to be bled,


then

music failed

to light the space

between the notes.



Marge Merrill is a life-long resident of western New York. She has read at local venues as well as being a former host of the Screening Room Wednesday Series.  She has been nominated for a Pushcart (for March 9th) and her work appears in the anthology A Celebration of WNY Poets (Buffalo Legacy Publications, 2014). Marge looks forward to retirement and having more time to devote to writing.

This is her first book.
