Spoken from Ask Jeeves

Like a late...
    summer breeze
breathing down on me
jazz and ...
    fallen trees
stolen straight from thee

Jenkins...

    down the street
running bloody feet
ground and ...
    jumbled tees
spoken from ask jeeves

Tried and true...

    the thieves
touring on the sleeves
stopped and ...
    questioned me
while falling down the street

Straddling a Stone

Contemptuous, serious
Frivolous and thieved

Stopped in silent
Harmony
Standing up to leave

Unconscious, grievous
Generous and thrown

Moved in
Cacophony
Straddling a stone

Diamonds in Her Hair

and he painted diamonds
in her hair
reaching for what clearly
was not there

he drew white sketches
in the air
cried at beauty no one
knew was there

he colored blank faces
in the sky
smiled at angels
strolling by

he painted soft rainbows
in her eyes
and someone cried softly
as he died

and he painted diamonds
in her hair
reaching for what clearly
was not there

Consciousness in Tune


abstract painting
on the window
viewed from
either side

safe in numbers
paint by numbers
deep inside
your mind

what you see
is what you hear
can you tell me
how you feel

fall into
the looking glass
and spin
the hawker's wheel

chasing rabbits
dressed in habits
consciousness
in tune

grasping gestures
throaty whispers
building like
a flume
