the cloudy grey...

The cloudy grey
& the light
See
It's 6 o' clock
The movie house is drying out
There are beads of wet on the porch chairs
It rained
Now
The roses quiver in a tiny
Warm
Breeze
The yellow birds come
I
Read
The movie house
Still
Drying
Out
Oh! &
The town's outside lights go off
&
The flag is drenched

at the performance class...

I wanna be a cellist
Viola violins
Piano
Chopin's leap
Sunflowers & dahlias by the altar
Gold

White

I jus' wanna be a New York cello player


annabell's gig...

Pale blue Christmas lights
Frame a purple door
A window a beer sign 4th of July flags
& green neon
Frame the band
Summ-errrr time
&
Pah toom pah toom the bass
Piano solo
Comp
Clank
Guffaws & serious jazz talk
Bells

Judds
The guitar player sings
Get your kicks
Summ-errrr time flyin' high
How the moon?
It's 10:45

A sigh on my mouth
Far
Muse
Steering the boats
Her face a poem
Rolling
Prettily
On the horizon

Mauve
Turns to orange & pink & grey
A far off trumpet sings loudly
In the wind
In the morning
In the flowers
