the room...
The room
On a hill on a street in a sea town
The black sheep tilted
On the wall
Sundance moustaches
On the wall
He leaning on a tin on a shelf
Looking like a Picasso listening to his frozen typewriter
Living
There
Under an old bread box in the room
Worn
Lorn

He & She
A little treasure flat
On a table on a black & white photograph in a cardboard fold

The room
Stepping out / off the porch / into the flower gardens

teapot smoke in the room...
A perfect poem
Pale peach
Paper lanterns lighted
This morning the bay is pink

Teapot smoke in the room

Sparks & spangles breathe the sugars & smells
This song of the bay
The hill the sea

the five-hundred-square-foot space?...
Ed
Of Bop
Of song & war
Sixty foot
Spinning birds such are the anvils of peace
Anvils
Up the river
Kirk
The river lattice en jazz & the smoky night bougainvilleas
The jungle en plein air
Oh the piano!
It is a piano isn't it?
Behind Black & Crazy Blues
Or
Is it (an) Inflated Tear? in
The five-hundred-square-foot space?
'The meter is five-four with accents on five and one,'

Yusef Lateef, man...
Holy jump song!
