All of my water tanks are full again.

The joy that I feel is hard to explain.

Sex horizontal is sanctified
That's great for seed pearls
Who blossom as girls 
But sons result from an upright bride!

Evidently Error

Evidently Error

Evidently Error ended up being clerical;
No one laughed or became hysterical;
More notes took;
Wrote a book;
Thoughts were horizontal and vertical.

Horizontal hue
Cold orange hazed views
Cool darkness all around me
Autumn says good night 
Atmospheric barrage 
October day lights fall, Sets

Primorskaya April

PRIMORSKAYA    APRIL


Trees are lost in the misty river’s sweep,
Tall buildings disappear
In the still chill of morning.


Below the glassy surface of the deep
And horizontal water,
The cold sun is swimming.

Canyon

Canyon
Hazy, hazy, hazy, till the ground grows close
Fingers of rock yearning for the sky
A jagged horizontal line runs forever and ever
Rain carved trenches form majestic castles
Giant chasms swallow infinite sight

C-heerful friends send greetings,

The Murals Heart

Red streaks run across the locked canvas.
Tears of anguish widen and elongate both vertical
          and horizontal lines.
Is it the lives spilled out on city streets?
Green blades of eternal renewal is the painters last 
           stroke.

I Was My Fathers Remote Control

I was the horizontal and the vertical
I was the light and dark on black and white
I was the picture flipper controler
I was the sound controller
I went up and down
I was the rabbit ears that fix the picture
I was the waiter to bring him beer
