remember the rust lily...

Remember the rust lily
The baubles on the ragusa plant
??
The Peruvian coffee?
Dying cactus flowers
Floating on the Eastport sky
A gull scouting atop a cold chimney
??
Remember?
Dying cactus flowers

orange gold...

Orange gold on Kathryn's house
Very still
Then
A
Crow
Song
At the peak of Kathryn's roof
A silhouette against the morning sky
Morning blue
A
Crow
Song
& a curtain lifts
& a man looks out

springsteen...

Springsteen
As Blue Man
Blades of grass tussle on the bay
Not at war
But in a Sea breeze
A poet's
Transparent heart only to her
Joe Williams sang

piano...

My words
Rain
In the morning
Every morning
On Flower Street on Flower Hill
Never for long enough
Faraway
Like a Piano in a Muffled Concerto
A
Voice
Will
Speak to me
Last night
Again

red sky...

Red sky
A kiss on the morning
Sheds
&
Sails
Red
&
Black
Black boats
Still sleeping
Watching
Watching
Orange boxes
Stacked
Eagles
&
Gulls
&
Broad shouldered men
All bright in yellow
Loading orange boxes
Into boats
In the sun
Now

Church pipes
No fear

Cliffs & fog
Crashing

Blue Rondo a la Turk
West of One

Ceiling fans & pretty windows
We went to church
Spoke
The bass
The piano the drum
The string
We went to church

a jazz poem...

Listen!
I hear bells pealing
Listen!
I hear jazz I think
Getz & Baker are dead!
Is it possible to hear jazz?
Anymore
Lester Young & Ben Webster are gone!
Tolling
Church bells & creaky church doors
Lester & Ben are gone!
Clifford Brown nearly never was! Ciao. Ciao.
Maybe I do not hear jazz
Maybe

Billie,
Are you home?
A chirp mournful & swelling

In this cathedral
Like a Picasso painting
A new house
New eyes
These eyes lips & lines

Her eyes
Lines of black
Arrows
Suits
Ties
Shoulders, straps
Dress me
Under the short twigs & stone
There
My hair black under the shout
Pain
&
The
Shout

Like a Van Gogh painting
Back to dark
Cat cat!

Oh
Billie,
Are you home?
- -
Billie is home.

A blue violin & a whispery tree

Green grass waves
The piano

Two stands & a bench
Two beds a chaise
& abundant maroon
Flowers in a frame on the floor by the door
Jazz!
Light winds in the flags in the trees
Suns & shadows the blue ocean weaves
Rivers & apples ah de dah la loo
Macaroons & macaroons ah de dah la loo

Sea violin,
A gown, wild winds
Her hair
Some
Boughs in a curl
Chestnut

Thyme
Jazz violin,
On her lips a song
Her
Cheek
A sailing breeze
Look at the waves! The sun

The ledge

The Cliffs of La Lune

Sing!

Songs
Mists before the sun

Blades of grass bent with dew

Ships & shoals nudging each other

the fog blues...

The
Fog
Blues
The flowers drink
Fast ponies too
Door
Screens
Drip, spiders stick
What was that noise?
A far away horn,
Old
Chevy ?
Or ? Or ? The fog ?
Blues
