Dear Bob Dylan

Dear Bob Dylan,

April 2, 2009 · 3 Comments

In the heart’s slaughterhouse, my mind is forever transformed.  It’s what emerges afterwards which is the problem I must reconcile.  I was in Virginia for lecture when you released a free version of Beyond Here Lies Nothin’.  I looked for a computer in between my obligations.  Nonetheless, I was forced to wait until today to hear the song.

Like me, God is not deaf.  The song is fierce, I write to remember it now and find I must play it again as I write, for the fifteenth time.  Butter, bread and salt.  Salt and water.  Soft bread and sweet butter. I’m in over my head waiting for the 28th to arrive.

I love you, absolutely.  And there is nothing you or anybody can do about it.
