Poem - To My Foolish Heart

Video of Bill Evans playing "My Foolish Heart"
at the piano, NYC 1963

*

hey bill you're breaking mine
as you play 'my foolish heart'

smiling at the same time
of the busting of it

remembering all the doors
passed in and out of

saying hello to such
an unexpected upturned face

and then one day she is gone
no letter unsaid goodbyes

through all this i see
how we can't go back

we only go on
as brave as possible

and then being
that way

as every place always
was embracing us
