On the sign:
THE AUDIENCE

Redemption? because they loved me? or loved me in my words
intelligent faces soulful pricked for the poetry

And that night a woman came in a dream Indian or black
aging alone the phrase "ghosts in her eyes"
"I’m a perfect case for attention," she said
So I was listening to her words pained dry fretful driven
writing them down for the poetry that disappears
She seemed flattered not realizing
the flat of the language its tundra
I was flattered too not realizing her own need
simply to speak
"Loaves of bread," she said

The next morning I saw loaves were love risen
their faces amazed that we know someone in dreams
wandering in tundra redeemed

-Richard Silberg

Comments:
Berklee’s poetry Walk was laid in October 2003 along Edison Street between Shattuck and Milvia Streets. The route includes 128 metal plates with excerpts from songs, each of which is related in one way or another to the city of Berkeley.

The current sign features a song by Richard Silberg. It is possible that this is a Berkeley resident who teaches drama in schools in the city.
