sunflower hill...

Sunflower Hill
There
A house
A swash of butter cream & crimson
& another
Sienna & seed & fruit on the ground
& another
Up the perfume roads
Down the perfume streets
Mustards & Blues
Tall & windows & a lonely bell ringing
& one grand tree in the village square
A living mulberry
A living ghost
The flowers in the sky
Waving
In the breeze
Where is your heart? Sunflower Sky
Certainly not in the bell ringing take a look around
In the flower beds
In the flower beds
In the flower beds
Earth paints -
Huts & stucco & clay
& old things in the flower beds
Jadeite & nephrite cups & bottles
Paintings of the Impressionists
Cabochons cut of seas & glass
Pink & brown
& out the old window frames paint chipped & peeled
Sunflowers & sunflowers & sunflowers
On Sunflower Hill

*a haiku taken out of a poem I'm writing and a painting I want to do...

away miles old watercolor...

away miles for miles davis (1926-1991)...

Away miles
The paper tunes
Sounds & songs
A story
A letter
A poem
Lifted
Above the trees & the rivers
& the purple floods
Wings of water
Spread on a hand to a star
The songs south east west
The blue hotels
Above the trees & the rivers
& the purple floods
&
Fast deer through all this
Run & play

& the apple blossoms fall

The
Island
In
The
Storm
My pictures on the wall
Sea ribbons boards & windowpanes
The Blues the Chartreuse songs
In my ditty bag
In my boat
In my way
To Peru
The Sweet songs
My Bourbon song
&
The Chocolate song
Shutters
Cracked concrete
Yellows
A
Windy
Striped
Towel
Sand grasses infrequent & unbending
Shadows

Suns
Pink horizons
Reds grays plums

Write
The island in the storm

Whistling out of Grand Central

& the angels there...

On the hill
A tea house floating
Sunlit diamonds on the floor
Gardens of church bells
Boats marching
&
Jazz
&
Wild horses
Running
Fastly on the poetry fields
The meadows of paint
Stippling
The green seas
& the angels there
Based upon the novel

the piano lesson...

Thirty panes of glass in the window
Look through
To the river
To the sea
Thirty panes of glass
Grandfather's clock beside them
A mother Mallard in the flowers on a table nearby
Thirty panes of glass in the window
Skylarks Bachs & Beethovens
The sun shining through

another one for earth...

Earth
Trees & windows
Raindrops winddrops
Sundrops on a windowpane
The
Colors
Of
Earth
Bleeds of Matisses & a light cotton cloth,
Madras
Plunks on a piano
The
Sounds
Of
Earth
Sounds
Of
Stan Getz
A stack of multi-color crescent moons on his black necktie
A train bell rings
Smells & sights
Roses & roses
Smokestacks & sunsets
Lester Lanin & the Beverly Yacht Club
& strawberry blondes & polka dot dresses
There
Where
Where to be
During the eclipse
The ripping of the forests
The picking of the whales
Green trees gold trees pink trees dead trees
The great 1908 Tunguska event
Earth

circus...

Distances gathering greater & greater
The day
Disappearing
Down the track
A far ride in the rumble seat of the yellow coupe
The circus was in town
Joy & candy
Trumpets & jugglers
Flowerpots & song
The circus was in town
