"The past is never dead. It's not even past."

-William Faulkner

for a self portrait...

Blue woman
In the sea shed window - -
A song
On
Flower
Hill
A song
In
The
Trees

the sea breath...

Watching
The lilt
Sea hair flowered & pinned
Droplets
Of
Salt
Seas
On
Her
Skin
Softly pinks & shocks
The sea breath
Stirring
With
The
Sun
&
The
Moon
A wave
Of
Tulips & silk boats
Heeding
Her song

neon jazz world...

Neon jazz world
Bottles
Peach
&
Coffee
In a street window
Through a garden gate
Orange pops! Graffiti in her hair
Trumpets
Shawls & shoes
Dancing in a poem
Making landfall on her heart

Robert F. Kennedy
