After the New Year
The crystal earths descent
Over heads at Times Square
And Sydney.
After the New Year

Play on Coltrane
Wail on sarah
The night is out
And even the stars are
Jealous of you
Do not write to me
With the dark blue ink anymore
Stones and people start out soft,
but harden quick ,
learn to have lots of layers
packed like index cards,
some of them onyx,
or rubies sequestered deep.
Chasing the sunrise
Portland to Denver
connecting to Branson, Missouri
on an airbus A319
the coffee on the first leg of the flight
is bitter and strong but not enough of either
to make the two hours’ sleep from last night seem like enough
By dusk we were just somewhere
outside of Philly. Frankie swallowed
the first of the uppers and I lost
count of junction signs trying to pinpoint
colors in twilight’s arbitrary scheme.
I thought the Day’s bristles surely bore the warmth
Your songs
never got sadder,
how can that
be?
How much does one choke up
As the Pope lies lifeless
Under a silver hammer?
How much does one choke up
As the Pope lies lifeless
Under a silver hammer?
So at the bottom line Johnny Cash
made me leave the truck and I found my self
a job in a book-store
