Moosh Magique

Berkshire Tripping

By: Charles Giuliano - Nov 22, 2014

Moosh Magique

Dead of winter
Acid night in the Berkshires
Holiday gathering
Orgy in the attic
Changed lives
By the hearth
Moosh Magique
Dancing in the flames
Melting mandalas
Oracles of color
Toward dawn
Wrote a check
Fifty years and no sense
Burned it
Ashes to ashes
Went outside
Cold crisp morning early light
Dog barking in the distance
Seeing for miles and miles and miles

" Okay, so "Magique" is a North American Indian Tribe, but what's "Moosh"?"

"Boy, do I remember that one! She looked a little like the image you sent. The poem is pretty good too. Another thing I remember from that night was being in the living room, out of our minds to be sure. You were on an extended riff directed at our host when I called your attention to the fact that he had fallen asleep. Without missing a beat you turned slightly in your chair, faced me, and just kept on going. "

"Charles...I was there! So I recall, we were only 30 years and no sense! "
