Goosebumps

Ry called it Chicken Skin Music;
the hair on your arms stands up –
maybe it only takes a few bars:
perhaps the intro,
the middle eight
or even the outro.

Sandy Denny all rhetorical
about the time and where it went.
Keef’s chords on a Moonlight Mile.
Amazing Grace, any
childhood thing or
love's association.

And maybe it’s not good music,
perhaps it’s cheap and trite and
you need a drink to make it so
powerfully sad
or wistful, and
maybe it’s just you.
