Free Falling
"Free Falling"
You have to believe in Magic
to believe in the poetry of You
If you don’t believe in Magic

bleeding to the right creative,
without left margin
for logical analysis,
you’re fixed...

The young man shouted at me in...

Blinks Through Bloodshot WalksWhen at five-thirty
In the rubbed-eye haziness
Of ferreting lonesome night walks
The camera-eye refugee
Asleep in the half wakefulness
Of the hour
Peers out of his high turbanned sockets:
Hyde Park's through road links
London's diurnally estranged couple -
The Arch and Gate.

The WaitressWe came walking blind bends at dusk,
An overhanging fig picked fresh.
No pavements, just a nervous trust
that drivers would skirt our single line.
Hugging the roadside with torches lit,
Phones swung glowing to the ground...

I Came Back To You In SeptemberI came back to you in September
you were quiet then
still,
like you used to be,
when men were men
and I was just a child
When the smell of the fish docks
mingled well with the stench of the slaughter...

MOM DAD WAR AND GRACE
Just the very thought of him, like an artist’s stroke of his
Paintbrush, sealed a promise of a lifetime of tomorrows.
I finally had found myself and, knew my purpose in life.
The instant you were within sight,...

Lijiang In Yunnan, ChinaSPRINGTIME MEMORIES
Mountain sentinels
By ancient town;
Clear waters cascade
Cobblestone streets
Winding pavements;
Trade offerings buzz
Fertile plains
Crystal clear waters;
Shady trees guard
Treasure-hunting stroll...
Through Lijiang Old Town;
Curiosity detours
So many things to see
Pleasant fare tempting;
Buying spree bargains
Artisans at work
Township flings open trade;
Silver metal...

The Secret Lives of Chimney Pots ICluttering above huddled rooftops
Of sprawling villages
And shy provincial towns;
Rising sharply amidst swooping
Declinations;
Hesitating when gathering at the
Tangled woodland perimeters of
Outlying greenland bounds,
Jostled apex ridges detach among
Themselves...
When habitually roused from early
Mornings
Newly awakened sounds.
Electrical milk floats whir...

This is about San Francisco,1967
Oh, yes that city had its own song!
It was a siren's call that sang;
"Here, Panagiota, is where you do belong!"
And my dearest poets, the sirens
call was not wrong.
It sang a...

While beauty sleeps, there are souls upon this earth
that have never known her in her full beauty.
Many seasons have passed and her eyes are still shut.
She is hiding behind pavements of tar and cement.

Country Dreaming
(A lone voice whispers)
I can still subliminally feel
All those sad fears
Rhythmically swirling like sharpened kitchen knives
Within all your world crazy choices
Which cuts me so deep
Like cold Tamahagane steel
Above all this new
Life's
Now old...

It rains in my heart
As it rains on the town;
Heavy languor and dark
Drenches my heart.
Oh, the sweet-sounding rain
Cleansing pavements...

Existencebetween new nightmares
and day dreams
of a better life
lay reality resurfaced
tight with taut brutality
unspeakable thoughts drift
down through time's flash
triggered not there
not then
but now and here
her mind digs through fear
as she sinks
slight form down
crisp skirt's rustle...
