in the music blue...

In the music blue
A mist on the meadow on the grass
From the sea

and then the sun went in...

Those small orchids are looking at the sun
Smiling
The birds too
Welcome shadows on the movie house
Sun pictures
Bogey and Bacall
A shore breeze on the portico
Key
Largo
And then the sun went in

the leader...

george wein owner of storyville, boston and founder of the newport jazz festival...

and violin music...

Small orchids in a tiny pot by the bay
The female cardinal
Breezes on the rosa rugosa
Goldfinches
And violin music
Violins
Violin
She with black hair
Say it,
Cole Porter

blue rain...

Meadows in green grass
Blue rain
And stillness and fog
Again
Wanting
North
And warmth
On boats and paths and long
Ocean
Walks

miles kind of blue...

ask miles...

Silk roads
Poetry, paintings and piccolos,
Ask Miles.

Early early morning
Four A.M.
Jack and me walking in the wet grass
No light?
Oh one bulb here two there / the
Lighted streetlamp fogbound
Quiet sea
Quiet tree
(Skylark)
But
I can hear a song
Making
Coffee

Far off foghorn
Birds
Five of six
Miles and Dizzy on wings and motorcars
And Chet breezes uplifting, orange and papery

In the mist
Of song

That is simplicity

a place...

A place
Where the morning moon shines through
Over the movie house gables
Above the white wicker
Tables
Delft teapot and cup
Lilies in a field
That place
That place
Where the morning moon shines through

getting ready to paint...

the sun is up again...

The sun is up again
On the movie house marquee
There are breezes on the bay
And not a foghorn
From away
I turned the heat on

That foghorn
A train whistle
Say
Distance far way
Way off there
So
Who
?
Hazy hills
Green
Purple horses
Steve McQueen

i can't see the other side of lubec...

I can't see the other side of Lubec
Now
But I can hear
That way off foghorn
A morning friend
Sun or shine or rain
Fog on the window and screen
Washes
In front of the movie house
Motionless tiny green leaves
Dewdrops
On the porch floor
On the rocking chair all alone
And
The
Blue painter's tape hanging

That way off foghorn
A morning friend
Sun or shine or rain

Rooftops over Eastport

the fog is wet this morning...

The fog is wet this morning
On my face and on the breeze

And
A foghorn way off

will there ever be again...

Will there ever be again
The cave paintings at Lascaux
?
A flicker
At the corner of a flame
The greatest art ever shown

face on parchment...

the roses are fast a crow flew by...

The roses are fast a crow flew by
Tossed and rouge on the wind and sky;
Away from the meadow and the lark.

big hats...

Fast horses running
Big hats
Orange and chartreuse
Balloons and stars
Beautiful sun
This morning's Mars

'there is hardly any money interest in art, and music will be there when money is gone.' - duke ellington

the furnace came on...

The furnace came on
6:13
Squares of sunrise on the houses in North Lubec
Sun diamonds on the bay
Dennis walked by
A bird on the feeder
A white blue sky
And painter's tape hanging
Breath
And sigh
And
Cloudy now
