You are
drop dead
gorgeous,
love,
and encumbered,
sorted out

Of perpetual gliding trains,
aquamarine lakes
riveted steel glimpses of
species, those broken rain ravished
trees 

Whiskey disguised
patient, balanced
like the sound of (V)elcro
on a sniper's sleeve
during a high noon sunset
domed high up
over the way home
-film overall 

A day too nice to end,
my goodness, 
each glinted silo
hinged over hell hounds

Fleur-de-lis
sharpened on words of stone
surround an invisible fence
raccoon eyes 
crossing
coal streets
before winter notes

A round mirror tilted
a light trick
three times three
a light trinity

Down at Aruba
taut men
cooled
by ocean
breeze

Brushed old paint
hulls the boats
older than song

Women from 
U.S. States
beginning with
New
snap sand
with painted
thumbs

And studied crumbs
on mahogany
glistened 
tables

You'd 
strike a
stone word
remembering
harp sounds,


How the bottom
of your lung breath
(from the warm room)
wafts out from
horse-like
nostrils,
over
a combination
of bacon and
peppered jack
cheese


Next morning, 
through night
cricked door 
cracks of
late-summer-autumn 
midnight passed
a requiem of
label-forward-brews
at last call


Taps 
exactly on the opposite side
of the earth,
the sun up already,
a lazy Rembrandt rise,
okay all around
in particular
underground
words of stone


Swirled air bound
this sound
mixed with
late night 
party scents
mouth watering
cherry licorice
a dry bruised
punched eye,
welted, bandaged,
purple in ominous
shadow:
an unknown star
balances over


The steeple's cross
the air clean, sharp,
the hearing acute
the words of stone

This makes me think there is a price for most pleasures...and that I can get from cement and the city to the sea and the sand by taking very deep breaths...
Beauty, danger, pleasure, death - the tension of life. It's all here.
a startling wake-up, for sure the words of a master
Tough learning
them stone words
Bring.
those stone words, dropped anywhere in on the earth have the resoundingly same chill and effect.
Ladies and gentlemen, thanks for your kind words.

Here is a tranquil musical interlude:


The Highwaymen-Michael (row the boat ashore)

Jim
Begs to be read aloud.

I like the textured imagery.
This is so LUSCIOUS and sensory. You could have stayed up all night with Kerouak, typing that endless roll, spilling your drinks and crashing dawn in the graveyard:

"The steeple's cross
the air clean, sharp,
the hearing acute
the words of stone"

See? INSPIRATIONAL. I Loved this and I want to cry because I haven't been able to keep up with reading (or much writing) for months now... Just know you are appreciated. I see how choosing between writing and reading is a Sophie's Choice. Not forever, pray...
something you caught with this pastiche...
