Meadow Muffin #2

Wagon pass

Dust stretch

Low pass

Barrel roll

ATA

And David flips out on the bass

David destroys

Air shatters

Who cares

Hell

Hell with it

Where's the management!

 

 

 

 

 

 

1988 California



At a Loss

HFB

scared shitless

pee'd my pants

froze stumbled stuttered

didn't bat an eye

hearts free

shirtless

pant and pant

sighed smiled

in the dark

I said her name

 

 

 

Pick up the Phone Please

move

walk run make a note

package hope

dial ring measure rope

ring ring ring ten

standing still

hang 

doors locked razor knife

fading light

cutting loose a kite

we could give it time

losing will

stray

pace hide shiver wallow

love is feral

peerless ache throat narrows

ring ring ring ten

 still

 

Tilden Park

Hills valleys fog whips

over the crest of unsure ends

Bellowing cows drift in the haze

Smoke dark shadows on the ridge

She asks, "So what a beautiful day"

I find that is all it is

Silent wish, collapsing weight,

our footfall lost to the wind

Five miles five words 

Illusion slides down fanciful hillsides

eucalyptus bird whistle

A stone in the palm of my hand

1987 California
