The Healer

for Ira Podnus & Carol Schwaner


John Lee Hooker says: "My songs
are like poetry. Some
are pretty heavy--so heavy
I can hardly carry them.

Sometimes on stage,
when I'm singing them,
it gets so sad
& deep & beautiful,

I have to wear dark glasses
to keep the people
from seeing me crying.
I'm not kidding. The tears

just start running. With the words
that I'm saying & the way
that I sing, sometimes I give
my own self the blues."



Grand Circus Park
