La Evasion De La Oiseau Bleu
"L'évasion L'oiseau Blue"
An exodus of dreams
like a flock of beating wings
melt upwards into endless sky
there the unreachable,
the bluest blue
of dreams so high
fleeting upwards ever upwards
the call below pulls in its nets
the fleeing mind and breath
washes back in, listen -
the ceaseless
cajoling sigh,
the turquoise summoning,
as above so below
the firmament reflection

The Cunning Figures
An accountant asks for accuracy
Playing figures
Always got his mind tangled
Blurring his eyes
And so bustling the calculator
Making his neck strained and fingers stiff
But the cunning figures
Still manage to escape
From his balance sheet sometimes
Causing him a severe headache
What's more
So surprisingly
Sometimes has to go all the ways
To make fool of the figures
For tax

Evasion
We came down from an evening
hill walk
made coffee
on the two ring cabin stove.
She said she was weary.
I said I was weary.
Wearily we sat there in silence
a strange discontent creeping
across the floor rugs
as the sun began to sink.
“Is it too late to drive home” you asked.
I thought about the long drive in the dark.
“No” I replied

Who Fostered Evasion
Who taught rationality to act in an evasive way?
I send him my love aches whenever I feel them.
He heard a story in the darkness of night.
Is he supposed to ignore me every morning?
I assured him I would always remember him.
I'm born from his pleasure of forgetfulness.
Autumn huddles on my palms.
Work your way up from my

Skilled Evasion
Fly in the kitchen wiping its feet
Spreading germs for anyone to eat
In charges the dog on hearing a buzz
Hunting and chasing as a canine does
Snapping his teeth with persistent chase
New game to play at a sprightly pace
Jumping high his head flitting fast
Senses alert no barks did he blast
Evading capture the fly flits by
Snap goes the

Techniques of Evasion
His mind had become a helter-skelter fridge
corners of memories
something like ancient sushi
hung in a delicate savor
those companions of wasabi memorabilia
In borrowed trousers he would wander
meandering the empty crowd
chewing on amphetamines bubblegum
with all the precision of the flayed
he grated the organisms conundrum
Graffiti splashed his T shirt
messages of very little comfort
the worlds intravenous of standard procedures
dealing

Sleep Evasion
Sleep evades me tonight.
Tears are fighting to be set free.
I am stuck in an endless battle.
My eye's burn with white hot liquid.
My heart aches for comfort.
Someone to tell me, I'll make it through.
But my pride stops me.
The words die on my tongue.
I keep the pain to myself.
I let

Tax Evasion
There once were some Senators in office
Approving taxes that really cost us
But when an audit was done
The Senators had paid none
These crooks are adding to our losses
