Out the dragonfly window this morning
Sails villages and dogs
Draped
In filigree
Tables in towns and in houses and across them
Stories
And
Songs
And
Seas
Sails villages and dogs
Draped
In filigree
Tables in towns and in houses and across them
Stories

mauve...
A rainy gray on the meadow
The empty rocking chair on the movie house porch
Pink and green
Mauve
Purple bushes and a blue sea
The meadow
A dance
Mauve
Brushes
In the breeze

old scraps of paper...
Open fences
wander
along the flower road.
(4-17-05)
The wind rose -
climbing
on a chill.
(4-18-05)
Cactus
flowering -
a robin shakes.
(4-19-05)
Spent clouds move
lazily -
blocking the day.
(4-21-05)
Good art
a cacophony of want and paint -
miniature memories.
(4-23-05)
A small game bird
in the wood -
hides.
(4-24-05)
1970s -
sweet horizons
beckoning.

there still...
A window is open in the movie house
It is very still there
A gull lands on the roof
And another
And another
And blue painter's tape
There still
Moving slightly
As if to say good morning
To an old friend

the dawn is slow this morning...
The dawn is slow this morning
Thoughts
Sighs
Modern life
Yearning beckoning seconding
Rafts and riverboats
Gamblers and grenadiers
Gauchos
And whispered songs
Tea and rolls and jam

swooping shadows...
Swooping shadows
Sunrise and branches and fence
White picket
Gingerbread house blue house
The movie house mauve curtains tucked
Quiet in the air and in the bay
Sun
Coming
Under the sill

poughkeepsie train station...
The train whistle
Whirring of tires hills and sunrise
The sea
Breeze
Warm and curtains and sunlight through
Morning
Early morning adventures treasures Poughkeepsie train station,
We're there!

aaah dah bop...
Storyville low light draped Billie one night only in Boston
This night
Round tables stacked standing room against the walls and the windows
Billie
From down the street the Herb Pomeroy band rushed in
Their break between sets timed to see Billie they
Ran in from the Jazz Workshop down the street down the street
1950s Lady
Low light
Billie
Her soul on teardrops drinks on tables
Prez sang his horn sumptuously sumptuously and she walked on stage
Low light
Black and White
"Prez," she glided then to the tables and chairs and walls pointed, "Lester Young... "
Aaah dah bop
And she whispered I Cover the Waterfront I'm watching the sea...
Cabs and horns streaks and Bird somewhere and Boots somewhere Buddy Bolden too
Aaah
Aaah and Jack was there Jack was there too
Aaah dah bop

a walk in the wet grass this morning...
A walk in the wet grass this morning
The train whistle
New York Atlanta New Orleans
Streetlamps reflecting on the pavement in the puddles
And tires whish
And the air feels good

Outside the curtain outside the window
On the field on the sea

The tea stove
Table
And
Toast
Jam

Redd's apple ale
Play that bass!
Play that bass!
On the snow road on the Andes
On the rain road in the rainforest
The grassy road to Inverness
Play that bass!
Play that bass!
On the Silk Road
The Tobacco Road
Play that bass!
Dave Zinno! Dave Zinno!

the years...
The years
Grass sandbars sleet
And
Wheat
Daisies in the field
Sails on the sea
Moons and stars equators and blooms
Warm breezes
Stealth wind
Running fast
Running the coast to Miami
Miami!
And
Back
Grass sandbars sleet
The years
Grass sandbars sleet
And
Wheat
Daisies in the field
Sails on the sea
Moons and stars equators and blooms
Warm breezes
Stealth wind
Running fast
Running the coast to Miami
Miami!
And
Back
Grass sandbars sleet

Behind the Roseville vase

Lunches
Near the sea
Paintings hang in all the rooms
Such jazz
Such sweep
Today

it's a matisse thing you do...
It's a Matisse thing you do
Alcoves windows cubbyholes
Boats
Things
Stars blue nudes blue dancers
Gold
Boats in a windowpane
In an alcove
In a cubbyhole
Blue green
It's Matisse in Chopin's garden last night
In orange lantern light
It's a Matisse thing you do
Alcoves windows cubbyholes

in the raindrops...
Heart and rain
Thunder
And
Whistles
In April
In the raindrops
Crossing trestles bridges mountain passes
Ribbons on the breeze
Afloat
On the sea
In the clouds and stars
The moon
And the winding roads and grassy paths
In the thunder
And
Lightning
In April
In the raindrops
