when california was young...

The warmth of the early light
Coffee
And
Jam
And a starched white blouse
,
Mingus plays piano in California
When California was young

mingus plays piano...


quite jazz...

Quite jazz
Lester Young and Billie Holiday
Bird trains flyin'
Perfectly
At the Cellar Stairs
Planes and Tranes
Miles and Miles
Quite perfectly jazz
To
Go

black coffee...

That early sun on the street this morning
All sides of the solid line and the hill
Black coffee
And the early train whistle familiar again
But
No hanging blue painter's tape in the bay breeze
At the Nickelodeon Shore
Until February and April and June

in the bay morning...

The sun
There
On the rosa berries
Red and lush
And the breath of seabirds
On them
Blue pennants hang in the sky,
Fluttering
Crows everywhere
In the bay morning
Washed in light and sea
And contentment

fast little horse...





The fast little horse dreams
Of sails on a stream

Write and
Right and
Song

night...





Night
On the bay
A tree -
Gold, purple, some orange in the sky

The Old Wind sings

And talks all night long

Sipping tea

a daisy...

Paint
The moon night
Sun drops
Pearl beads of the rain and the stars
A daisy

And
Write

Here
