Cry From The Hills

A Haiku poem for lost love

Eyes take in beauty though heart can’t feel summer wind fate adrift in cloud

Sad dawn cries from hills beginning feels like an end song of empty bed

Notes: Inspired by “Lamento No Morro” (Antônio Carlos Jobim, Vinícius de Moraes) performed by Quarteto Jobim-Morelenbaum in 1999. This a fresh take with beautiful harmony, crispy percussion and prominent cuíca . The quartet included members of Jobim’s family with vocals by Paula Morelenbaum who toured along with her husband and Jobim until his passing in 1994.

The lyrics are classic bossa nova longing for love lost. The accompanying slideshow below includes members of the quartet and several photos of Tom Jobim.

Written for the July Summer Music Challenge where I wrote a poem or story about bossa nova for 31 days. See below for all entries including Terry Barr’s 8 brilliant memoirs about summer and music:
