Every Saturday, we’ll be posting a new illustration by David Lester. The Mecca Normal guitarist is visually documenting people, places and events from his band’s 33-year run, with text by vocalist Jean Smith.
Cherry Flowers
Gliding through the rings the oars make
on the water
Rowboats heading for the caves
they’re filled with flowers
Seven men in white shirts
watch the needle on the gauge
Rise and fall
swing and dive
