Miles to go. Miles Davis (May 26, 1926-1991).

miles and trains

in looking
on a blank canvas
colors
white
beige pink and lemonade
flowing
purple and blue
growing themes

miles
and
trains.

flowing sands...

dripping waving red maple leaves
branches sway
in a fine rain
the night over
breaking light since
traffic and soul in the song
in the song
night
flowing sands
to here
dripping waving red maples
and light breaking.

Duke Ellington (1899-1974)...

poem

poem
red maples leaves out rippling
now
in a cool late day breeze
cloudy
tires slapping the street infrequently
Sunday
trying to be quiet

not so quiet though.

moments...

moments
flashbacks
grainy pieces of black and white film
whap whap whap
the flickering light
newsreels and
phones ringing, hopes whirring
all there
stories
with popcorn in the balcony.

Billie Holiday (1915-1959)...
