Not Tonight but Tomorrow (1978) BY MIGUEL ALGARÍN

Not Tonight but Tomorrow (1978)
BY MIGUEL ALGARÍN

Not tonight but tomorrow
when the light turns the peach
tree green and the Earth sprouts
its young leaves looking to repeat
the magical mystery tour of
photosynthetic conversion of light
and moisture into life—
Not tonight but tomorrow
when my body will have shed
its fear of turning old and soft
will I turn my speeding mind
into the tunnels of your psyche
to melt the calcium that constipates
your synapses into a lubricating powder—
Not tonight but tomorrow
when the Universe moves on
beyond the field of action
that is the Earth to me and you
will I discover the interplanetary clues
that signal the roots of my moment to you—
Not tonight but tomorrow
will I throw my feelings into
New York streets to stew
in the violence and despair
of our planet—
Not tonight but tomorrow
will the Earth turn green again.

Saddened by the loss of poet Miguel Algarin last Sunday, at the age of 79.

From the Nuyorican Poet’s Cafe website: In his Lower East Side apartment, the Nuyorican Poets Cafe was born as an outspoken and passionate collective of poets, musicians, theater artists and activists.

Miguel was a brilliant poet, an influential professor and leader, and a supportive mentor who inspired and guided generations of artists.

He edited popular anthologies of poetry and theater, including "Aloud: Voices from the Nuyorican Poets Cafe" and "Action"; he helped launch the Nuyorican Literary movement; and he played an instrumental role in popularizing spoken word and performance poetry across the United States and around the world.

Miguel and the Cafe's co-founders amplified the voices and championed the work of Latinx, Black, LGBTQ+ and immigrant artists who were not accepted by the academic, entertainment or publishing industries.

Thanks to their pioneering work, and thanks to our community of friends and supporters, the Cafe has remained a vibrant home for creative expression since 1973.

The literary world owes Miguel a debt of gratitude. He will be greatly missed.

Yesterday was the anniversary of my brothers passing, Elie’s eldest child.
Despite having very different body types, my brother Michael and my friend Phil give remarkably similar hugs.

They’re also both virtuosic.

Phil Cook is innately brilliant with a piano, a guitar and well, with people. He plays and lives by ear. In his case I dare say his ears are connected to his hands with his heart in the middle in a way that lets music be God. Read Love if you must.

Phil is a bringer together of people.

On our flight down to see him in Durham, NC they announced our return flight was cancelled. Durham had shut down for snowfall before we arrived. The drama of that matched the magnitude of the show.

Given Family / Chosen Family featured @kamarathomasmusic , @rissipalmermusic , @tamishawaden , @hollowkeys and @mavisswanpoole . They sang to celebrate the spirit of Aretha Franklin, who had departed a few months before.

If Phil had introduced me to any one of those artists, I’d hold him up, but he’s just an overflowing kind of guy.

Thanks Phil, today, for helping me feel close to Michael.
