My Bohemian Life
I went off with my hands in my torn coat pockets;
My overcoat too was becoming ideal;
I travelled beneath the sky, Muse! and I was your vassal;
Oh dear me! what marvellous loves I dreamed of!
My only pair of breeches had a big whole in them.
– Stargazing Tom Thumb, I sowed rhymes along my way.
My tavern was at the Sign of the Great Bear.
– My stars in the sky rustled softly.
And I listened to them, sitting on the road-sides
On those pleasant September evenings while I felt drops
Of dew on my forehead like vigorous wine;
And while, rhyming among the fantastical shadows,
I plucked like the strings of a lyre the elastics
of my tattered boots, one foot close to my heart!
~ Rimbaud
Some of my poems...
Frosty Drew's Telescope He saw binary stars
swirling pixie dust
rumors of black holes
sucking him in
Galax urceolata
soaking wet nebula
glistening and growing
dripping milky way
souls of poets
intertwined
and helpless
free form ending
in sudden death
and is that heaven?
beyond the last rim
staring at the cold and icy truth
subtle smile...
they put a madman behind
the lense of their telescope
yet never noticed
he was clenching his hands...
Expecting the Rain Expecting the rain
then everything changed
when a snowflake
touched your tongue
Instruments and Passion Six reasons to change the subject
88 ways to avoid reality
One microphone to say things I don't mean
Two amplifiers to proclaim my vulnerabilities
One wine glass to make it all okay
Alone in my little studio
what more can I say?
88 Keys 3 a.m. in front of 88 keys
afraid to break the perfect silence
the fog horn sounds over Narragansett Bay
Stupid crow
wakes me again
another day
waiting for you
Caribou under moon
drifting snow-
somewhere a fishing boat
is sinking
we agreed to look at the same star
last night
but oh! distracted
by a meteor shower
Vast and Deep meteors bounce off the stratosphere
sending sparkling diamonds toward the vast sea-
poised frightened on this breezy shore
my god! so lurid - left wanting more
