Sound Bites: May 28, 2024
Dead Calm
Without friction
there is no motion
Without motion
— creation stops
(Dreamsleep: May, 2024)
Abeyance
My pen is searching
for its guitar case
a place to sleep
when the writing’s done
To rest in the dark
between flowing moments
of what might be coming
— and old verses sung
(Dreamsleep: May, 2024)
Nowhere To Hide
The haunting of our memories
never to escape
No continent wide nor ocean deep
— will shield us from their rape
(Dreamsleep: May, 2024)
Falling Into Silence
For years
I’ve had an old man’s body
Today
an old man’s mind
The past
a memory ever haunting
Tomorrow looming
— in decline
(Listening To Paul Simon: May, 2024)
Shadow Dancing
Making everyday life poetic
doggedness abounds
Separating wheat from chaff
— harder than it sounds
(Dreamsleep: May, 2024)
Again New Orleans
Waking up from a dream
inside another dream
inside another dream
inside another …
(Listening to Wynton Marsalis: May, 2024)
