5 songs...

Riding
5 songs & fast horses fast to the stars
Flying
By comets
Stepping on the ice gulls & geese & winter robins
- - gingerly
Runyonesque Athena Parthenos & Monterey jazz
&
Oh!
A gentle John Coltrane song
&
Oh!
Superman's New York
Down there!
That's the news!
Get here
From there
A plinkin' violin
Under
The proscenium arch
Arching from Orion to Cassiopeia
Her winter love
At
The
Edge
Of the arcade
&
Oh!
The magnolias out there
Therein the Great Flowers
5 songs & fast horses
& old morning photographs stacked
Willows mulberries & great & broken pines
Old
Morning
Photographs
Stacked!
Fireworks!
The autumn trees!
Satellites islands & melting snows
A winter minute
At
The
Star
Well
Out on the black on a Navajo blanket
The shaman's smoke a rest & a rattling
Across
On strings trains busses & fast horses
Through
Curtains of red & orange
Bell & song
Markers to Pluto & beyond the Evening Star
The rose galaxy the orchids & lilacs galaxy
& spindly trees leafless just tiny tiny berries
Some blue
Dressing the brittle branches
In light
Christmas light
