As you valiantly carried on your poetic works to the very end.
This did not change your literary accomplishments well-known,
And your courage through the misery and morphine*...

Driving to work on a Sunday, 
Went to work yesterday, but didn’t get much done,
Except looking for leads for new work.
It’s pouring rain outside my big comfortable conversion van,
Traffic is stop and go, and I...

ROMANCE

It was something by Schumann    or    Schubert
A Sonata for piano perhaps

But the music fit the girl
Flawless in dress
Hair not short    not long ...

Is like a symphony by Beethoven

A beautiful melody by Schubert

A piano concerto by Mozart

I’m a bohemian girl
I wear my hair in curls,
I wear maxi skirts
And denim shirts.
I wear long earrings
And black stockings.
I like folk songs,
And pierced tongues.
I like Wittgenstein,
And Melanie Klein.
I had psychotherapy,
But it was given to me...

THE JEWELER’S LATHE

Summer’s last rose
After many admiring morning visits
And with nature’s rusty brown and gold 
Surrounding, drawing comparison,
Becomes even more pink and beautiful

Being aware as being – native to all souls –
Nature strives to improve,

Sweet sounds so dear—
Pure timeless tones of gladness—
Your melodies bestir my soul to flight—
Through darkest night
And doleful days of sadness—
I thank you for my hope and banished fear,
Oh precious music, mine to hear.

In sorrow born—
From...

Tell me you’re content.
The poet is what you want?
(The poet is what you get.) 
 
Death’s demise  is no surprise
for life’s disguise. 
Cease the words!
Cease the pain!
Don’t remind the composer
he’s insane.
His eyes are Fury,

Schubert had a symphony
He didn’t quite complete,
Though the parts he finished writing,
We consider quite a feat.

David Foster Wallace
Left his novel not quite done;
Still, the accolades accorded it
Have piled up, one by one.

Many things have value

Dancing fingers sing me a song of happiness,
And do I not relish the thought and the feeling?
If the element of surprise delights ,
And the rhythms sway my mind,
Am I not complete, the fullness of my...

The Leiermann

(to be spoken or sung to Schubert's The Leiermann)

Here, before the bustling market,
Stands the Leiermann; 
Fingers always dancing, 
Though the air is chill.

Bright dressed, he smiles
And says hello,
But few look into his eyes,
Or mutter...

Changing thoughts
were creating chaos in frenzy,
unabashed, following the stricken
prey, to reclaim
the violence of a stalker.

Was there any law of jungle ?
Or rule of law in the midstream
of a formless prosthesis,
gaping void, throwing up
a primordial fear.

Becoming...
