gypsy girl...

Gypsy Girl
Her horse bridled in solid silver
Saddled in solid silver too
Gypsy Girl
Singer of songs
Lookout on the hill
Her black black hair a falls of feathers
On the oceans & in the trees & in the seas
Gypsy Girl
Her whispering breath rustling a poppy leaf
Red
&
Orange
The rhythms
Strings & bells
She
Wine red
&
Sunrise orange
She
Gypsy Girl
The last dancing wearing her fancy dress-!

Caravans & horses on the avenue
Rag rugs braided oval & round & square
Charlie Parker rides his fast horse
Downtown
To the baseball field
Lighted
In
The
Rain
&
Uptown
To the tennis courts
Lighted
In
The
Rain
Charlie Parker 'looked like Buddha,'
Jack Kerouac said
As peaceful
As peaceful
As Miles Davis playing two notes on the sea

Dave Brubeck just rowed by
Lighted

Rain

brubeck pencil sketch...

the gold beaded lamps went down...

The poet sketching on yellow-lined paper
A vamp
Reaching back in a storyville day
Easily Easily
Saturday night
The gold beaded lamps went down
Saturday night
Orange
& cool
The hill poppies sleep
Delightful songs
Making a picture on the paper on the sea

of dawn...

The safe blanket of dawn
Kathryn's porch & driveway are lighted
The red roses are quiet
The swan, the Sinatra book cover & the indoor cactus
Smile
I
Sigh,
There is a dew on the white picket fence

on the edge of the ocean...

On the edge of the ocean
A tea garden
Blooms
Sea bells

Song
