摘要：

 The Silver Yes (1971)  (For Nino Padilla, December 12)     Sometimes    In this here movement    You go down, down, down    Dragged by the smallness of people,    The weakness, the blindness, the pettiness,    Down and down and down    Feet chained deep in shit and no wings    Nowhere in sight, nowhere, no no no.    Then comes the gift    Walking in from the cold    On black velvet, quietly--    Wings!    And chains fall off feet, the heart leaps,    The knowing of beauty returns    The dream, the love, the flight,    Hum and soar, flash and gleam,    Beauty in sight, straight up, yes    Yes yes yes yes    Wings!

The Silver Yes (1971)

(For Nino Padilla, December 12)

   Sometimes
   In this here movement
   You go down, down, down
   Dragged by the smallness of people,
   The weakness, the blindness, the pettiness,
   Down and down and down
   Feet chained deep in shit and no wings
   Nowhere in sight, nowhere, no no no.
   Then comes the gift
   Walking in from the cold
   On black velvet, quietly--
   Wings!
   And chains fall off feet, the heart leaps,
   The knowing of beauty returns
   The dream, the love, the flight,
   Hum and soar, flash and gleam,
   Beauty in sight, straight up, yes
   Yes yes yes yes
   Wings!
