Looking out her window onto a Massachusetts wooded marsh, my mother says, “I know that Purple Loosestrife is an invasive species, but I don’t care – it’s beautiful.” Invited in but still unexpected, the newcomer alters the landscape, soils the soil, but opens eyes to an unanticipated beauty and a bit defiantly knows its place. Auris says, “Gino, step in,” and available ears get a renewed massage. Hearing the music only, not seeing the players, I imagine elbows flailing and then softening to subcutaneous bubbling stillness, ears open to each other’s studied whims. The marsh and all its homeys, shaken a bit, stirred a bit, defied a bit, massaged a bit. - lou mallozzi
