Don't forget to remove the Bay leaves from the
pot.
Make it easier on yourself
put the bay leaves and rosemary sprig
in a cheese cloth.
I'm in most incline to agree
yet some deemed them useless

Overflow of the waters of Lake Itaska
You carry your wealth to the waiting world, 
Mighty Mississippi, half savior, half sewer, 
Plant and animal wastes, dissolved minerals, 
Venting prairie deluge, dividing a Nation, 
Exposed aquifer of...

word string you make my heart sing
you make everything groovy
but I wanna know for sure
the slaver's noose is no sower of truth
and its cohort of prediction
open eyed jumping to no order
because invention is the outcome...

Hibiscus rays of light
herald the sun's stretch from slumber
in a bloom of ravishing red passion- 
Oh! how I despise dawn's blushing optimism
and lust for life!
for I am too young to cry
but too old not to

descent:

crack!
sear sting
oh…
shocked into clarity
sharp edged relief of now
laid bare on a tempest

slick satin slides
catches my wrists
pulls up
pulls tight
paradigm shift 
into controlessness

now bleeds into forever
the lash polishes beauty

breathe, baby
shallow and slow
pulse under fingertips

my tensile strength
stretch tested

Autumn teases the last cinnamon leaves
clinging to branches with amber fingers.
Seasonal change awakens Nature's thieves,
a wafting breeze that doggedly lingers,
stripping trees bare; a scene that sadly grieves.

Fall sings in a rhythmic glissando voice
announcing it's time...

From: Now That She's Alone
Story of a Man's Wanting
( the mention to play glissando
and to sing aria)

Do you know what to say
does it make you
wanna just  walk away
seems it's clear to me
something more
obviously
maybe it's...

It started on D - flat, 
succulent & succinct 
soft & rhythmic
loaning hearts pats. 
the wail of the piano
caressing the voices' glissando

riffs tampered with the tune, 
notes trailing tracks of crest, 
demisemiquaver pruned
by the demigod...

I murmur like a rivulet through the 
hitch of your hands, where the canyons 
carve their parched longing into your fingers—
where silences sublimate like cera,
pooling beneath your glissando touch.

Your tremolo breath convulses rough and low
like...

Septuagenarian Serenade
By Sy Roth


It wants to warble a fine tune
It wants to fill the night with a pleasing glissando
Rising and sliding into joyful jig

Instead, the brittle vocal chords are ill-defined wolves
Howling at a laughing moon,...

She’s still; an interlude in solitude.
Twilight mournful, his voice ghostly distant,
introspection.., meditation imbued,
she sits alone, bitter-sweet existent.

Lamentations she weeps in glissando.
Cacophony!  Consciously in discord,
love reminisce, arpeggio tempo,
she sits alone, remembrance, two-edged sword.

Bethought bliss, wedded...

Si una dirección para tocar glissando

los embrates del amor
de la musica
puso uno a novia
la seda francesa
le calla musica

un broche de diamantras
a par como casi
pero en realidad

The embarrassments of love
of music

Leaves fall in the Fall.
Leaves flump in the Downtick.
Leaves flop in the Glide.
Leaves founder in the Comedown.

Leaves descend and drop in the Tumble.
Leaves nosedive and lurch in the Downflow.

dragging in denim notes 
through a tide-pool creek
laughing lyrics bubbling on
wearing wet my mystique

dragging those blue chords
rinsed in aqua and stone
awash, panting, melodic remember
eight bars rockin' overblown

smokin' blues, roachin' rhythm
trilling trumpet tonin' notes
words sung growling...

Long lonely ballads sooth my soul,
recounting loves which ne’r grow old.
With tales of lives, of toil and strife
which linger on the sharpest notes.

Laments pining through the key of D.      ...

Fingertips 
fall—
not like 
stones,
but like rain,
plucked silver
threading the air.
Each string
holds a hush,
a breath not yet
forgotten.

The musician builds—
not a score,
but the curve
of a heron’s wing
skimming dusk
softly vanishing
in a single glissando.


The guzheng does not speak.
It spills:
vibrato,
a tide...
