BEFORE and AFTER (EACH EMPTY, CLEAN PAGE)  (1990, North Park, San Diego, California

each empty  clean page    
   
awaits laughter or crying    
   
or simply must bear    
   
the strain of my silence    
   
until the right moments    
   
ripened  inner calling    
   
comes a calling    
   
up through    
   
my ever vigilant    
   
creative muses  
   
inner sensory  
   
multidimensional  
   
integrative    
   
perceptions
 
inner need to release
 
its mysterious spills out
 
to leave their
 
interwoven
 
frozen
 
dream like stains  
 
upon them each
 
and all
   
again
