California Dream

Cruising southwards to LA from Sac a midnight filled with songs ‘n Luna, light-etching hills in a black infernal… It was a leviathan’s back on which I felt the tires unrolling a chilled grief ~ Owlish-full, a hypnotic moon, ‘n Dido reminiscing tunefully about surrender negating white flags and loves forlorn... Inside the eye, a wispy face smiled hi and gently slid open a papery fusuma... Dazed, I held her gaze, so undead Round face framed in softest ether exhaling cool peppermint to inhale ~ Amaranth rains of fleeting gardenia, mildly-scented dawn's astral gloam *** (11/2/2020)

Your style is so original, Susan. Reading you is like Perrier after tap water. Enjoyed the poetic flight with you and Janet ~ John
