Kris Delmhorst at the Iron Horse in Northampton, MA 4.17.04


Packed house, twilight into warm spring night. A bald woman and her wild-haired toddler son gave me directions down Center Street, past the ice cream shop the psychic storefront the veggie co-op and the Masonic hall. I love this town.

yes is a pleasant country:
if's wintry
(my lovely)
let's open the year

both is the very weather
(not either)
my treasure,
when violets appear

love is a deeper season
than reason;
my sweet one
(and april's where we're)
