Cripple Creek
Floating lazily
Reaching the shore
whenever they happen to get there
Memories are like bottled messages
And so I remember Cripple Creek
one single day
from so long ago
I was 20
the thinnest I'd ever been
spending a few weeks in Colorado Springs
an intensive photography workshop
One of our field trips
was an hour or so away
a gain of several thousand feet in altitude
Cripple Creek
More foreign feeling to me
than some foreign countries I'd visited
The first memory
is...

The Deserted Glove
One cold autumn morning in late October a glove on the clothes line decided that life with it's mate was boring & awful.
It persuaded the clothespin to render it's hold and blew away on the next breeze.
A little girl stumbled upon it and loved the pretty colors.
She took it home and her mother got notice of it and told her daughter to throw it away.
As she was about to throw the glove away in the garbage pail outside, she became sidetracked and left the glove on the ground.
A stray dog saw the glove and began biting & tearing at...

I'm a loner Dottie...a runnin' rebel
This weekend
I drove
the "loneliest road in America"
by myself.
There were more people there than I expected.

Graceland Forevermore
I give of myself on the wings of nigh
Unto Ether, my wings spread I can now fly
The Earth resonates my heart's lullabies
Soar with me through the beginning of time
Unto Ether, my wings spread I can now fly
The Earth resonates my heart's lullabies
Soar with me through the beginning of time

It's So Eclectic
Close your eyes and slowly inhale the touch of the wind
It speaks of old Negro tales the ear refuses to lend
Sacred whispers of the Middle passage as ships on troubled waters braved
Christened by the dark depth as weary souls wade
Captives of past generations residing in cramped living quarters on a journey to a new frontier
Only to fall prey to savagery, more brutal than killing the buffalo and hunting the deer
Shh… can you hear the echoes give us freedom as it bemoans ...

Coincidentally Cosmic
I feel a cosmic unification, a cross
hemispherical commingling of thought
elevating awareness of the outside
energies ebb and flow, existing in
harmonic resonance with the earth
I hear her gentle hum, singing both
microscopically to my cells and spiritually
to my soul, emerging from my shell to
take my seat of connection with the
universe, my personal supernova
It’s so amazing to feel and control the
energies within and without, my heart,
pushing blood in rhythmic waves that
pulse through the body, feeding my ...

Time Trucker
Time trucker,
flashing on by.
Galaxies inside him
Universe behind
Life lucker
Walking on his bones
Riding on a new born star
Who knows where he roams
Time trucker
Milky way does drip
Stars and constellations
on his fingertips
Life lucker,
He's aint no moonstrucker, he's a
Time trucker
flashing on by.
Galaxies inside him
Universe behind

Walking on his bones
Riding on a new born star
Who knows where he roams
Time trucker
Milky way does drip

on his fingertips
Life lucker,
He's aint no moonstrucker, he's a

Letters from my Aunt #6
Sixteen years before I'm posted to Deutschland
another operator on a morse key,
transcribed a message with his guitar playing hands
and that was sent to Ike then, on to history...
Johnny Cash on Stalin's death set some folk free
and meant the simmering cold war stayed, just cold
and evesdropping became that key
but, I guess that story's been done, and told?
That was our dream to get the world spanned
by some huge news back in nineteen sixty-nine and we, ...

El Capitan - you are a joint
El Capitan - you are a joint
Within the Sierra Nevadas
Of punctuated granite -
A sentinel of the ages.
Sylvestris partition -
Beam of silver - or steel -
Are you a step to heaven
Or a capstone for hell?
Stern expression of peace -
Keeper of fortitude -
Of what would you speak?
Would I even understand you?
Within the Sierra Nevadas
Of punctuated granite -
A sentinel of the ages.
Sylvestris partition -
Beam of silver - or steel -
Are you a step to heaven
Or a capstone for hell?
Stern expression of peace -
Keeper of fortitude -
Of what would you speak?
Would I even understand you?

Letters from my Aunt #8
Back in nineteen hundred and sixty-nine
on the deep water jetty of al Muharaq,
three kliks from Manama on Bahrain isle,
a gray nuclear powered warship of the USA steamed back
from Vietnam where its huge shells attacked
positions of the commie Viet-Cong,
and me, a bit scared, in my telegraphists shack
hoped that those on R&R would soon be gone...
It was, briefly, a kinda anxious time
as I keyed in my reports in that little shack,
on the long finger of that jetty's quarter mile
back to land, then to Manama town down...

Great and Rugged Pyrenees
Great and Rugged Pyrenees
Whose solid presence demands
Notice of lush valleys
And Spanish oaks that dot the glens -
Prevailing winds churn in wrath -
I stop to breathe in them;
You cut the horizon in half
And grip my eye with icy hands.
Your cohort - a mix of clouds -
Can't forever hide your majesty.
Seville looks on from the south;
Andorra sings the victory.
Whose solid presence demands
Notice of lush valleys
And Spanish oaks that dot the glens -
Prevailing winds churn in wrath -
I stop to breathe in them;
You cut the horizon in half
And grip my eye with icy hands.
Your cohort - a mix of clouds -
Can't forever hide your majesty.
Seville looks on from the south;
Andorra sings the victory.
