Passionate
The mornings of spring
In hills
Seas
The blossoms & dew
Filled with everything

time...

Time
Won't slip away
Somehow

There's so much to see
New York Eastport Pittsburgh P A
Morning
Quarter to six
One train whistle has gone by
I'm sure somewhere there is a gold sunrise

Beaded glass rose ceramic balls of yarn
&
Time

&
Time
Won't slip away

Ever
Ever

The furnace came on I'm surprised
It's
Warm

A long walk

In the daffodils
&
The green apples
It's almost six

duets...

Adaptation
& a poem & a poem
& a window over the street
Breezes from the bay
&
Song
Curls dry orange dry
&
There
A curtain waves
Color

Jazz
Beige rouge
Blue
In a blue canvas
Stars

Sun
But more
A
Sigh
&
A
Prize

'if all the beasts were gone,"...

"If all the beast were gone,
men would die
from a great loneliness of spirit,
for whatever happens to the beasts
also happens to the man.
All things are connected,
whatever befalls the Earth
befalls the sons of the Earth."

-Chief Seattle (c.1780-1866)

jack kerouac (1922-1969)




"Holy flowers floating in the air, were all these tired faces in the dawn of Jazz America."

-Jack Kerouac, On the Road

i thought i remembered the old tenor...

on the other side of the lattice...

Jazz
I think
Waits for the train whistle
Here
It
Is
To Oceans Paris France & New York City
On breezes in the night
All night
Every night
Until
The moon gets me up very early
All night
Every night
,
While
Jazz
I think
Runs the pampas
&
The rivers
On the other side of the lattice
