I Hear Music
When I cook
when I clean
when I am walking to work,
in fact I am in the music,
the music is all that surrounds me.
Sometimes I step outside the music,
leave it open just a crack
then it's all humming hertz and
incandescence
and I'm big as business.
Sounds roll into one
the way Bach rolled into Hendrix,,
the world of music called earth evolves.
Around whom does it revolve?
I look for an icon, all I find is earth.
I would like to constantly play a song
like a leaf does, roots wading, tagged
bear, I have a song/know where
my heart is but don't dare,
don't dare.
,,Come for Me,,
May not be what it seems,
never while away the dream
deep in my heart
deep in my heart/ Come for me.
Lapkiss lick beat of fingers on keys,,
What key is me?
Deep in my heart?
Be in my key/ Come for me.
Mystico City
Whether light
or fish of light swimming
beneath useless loom of buildings
whose farceful grab
is eluded by need//
hurry//
and blind,
blind swimming,,
Whether in droves
or slow pack race of seconds
shepherded by wealth, inorderlies
suppress shadowed faces//
houseless//
build against//
go blind
in their swimming,,
Engines or groans in time
create what we know of silence,
what silence recognizes as art
what such things fly toward plays
nightly by day, hold in wing//
survive for
whether fish of light or light alone,,
Jazz is dead in the holder, weep and moan/
reap and sew.
I can't hear what's loud, and so it goes.
Jazz is dead, it has no holder for a soul,
for a soul.
My capacity for getting high is higher.
My inclination towards staying dry is dryer.
I'm on a speed chase and nothing's getting near.
I no longer fear, I'm flying
I'm flying
I'm flying
I'm fine.
Death
is the sibling who meddles,
having no great thing
to take his time.
Death
has mastered the art of teasing,
no hobbies
but hopping into eyes;
feigns sleep
in every container thought empty,
slipping into sight.
Death
never tires,
spends his life perfecting this game,
childhood rivalry.
Hafiz
You are my secret, my flesh song
my eternal guest.
You bless me when you smile,
your laugh becomes my body touching
this life that beckons us.
{Hafiz
writes his belly down.
{Hafiz
wouldn't know a frown
if he wore one.
Nature Hike
Roll up your pants, baby
c'mon let's go for a hike.
Roll up your pants, baby
we'll go on a nature hike.
You can wipe your hands later,
let's build us an appetite.
Maybe climb,
I'll need a boost or two.
Wade in the rocks and water
and maybe I'll get used
to you.
Can't keep the flies from buggin,
you know I ain't that kind of lady.
Plenty time for huggin,
and you know I'm a lady.
Sun's way upin the sky,,,,,,,,,
baby go on a hike
/with me.
Where Do I Go?
Where do I go, when all I see is leaves,
roots, dirt and snow?
When I see the mountain, am I not really
in the mountain?
And if not in, then where do I go?
Where do I go when I'm not in the dirt and snow?
Where do I go, tell me when it's cold?
Where do I go when I'm settin aside these raggy bones,
if not in the leaves, roots, dirt and snow?
Where could I be when I feel the cool water
rushing over me?
When I'm in the ocean, how come I can't
really be the ocean?
Sand sticks where it shows, so where do I go?
No Regard
As if the sun were wavering,
or the clouds
wrinkling into themselves.
Smoke given off by wet grasses
melts through the air
nothing more than colored
shadows,
then disappears.
Moss stricken trees
look down at their toes
flutter heartless
and steep in the arbor.
A dark gale whispers,
I do not listen to the words.
I have no regard for words to the
weary. Every sky
has a new face, one artist's
impression
of the
race against time
or the sun, wavering, or
the clouds,,,
wrinkling into themselves.
