Grit in a whirlwind

Nameless gods
and faceless wraiths
promenade hand in hand
under a lopsided copper moon.

Dealer calls the game

A galaxy of candles,
tapered white bubbling glory,
eats the furnace air
before a rust-black icon.

Footlights and a baby spot

When the end comes
nobody notices

except the tenor sax.

of course the tenor sax would notice, who else? I hope the fates are going to clean up all the mess they made... wonderfully disturbing poem for the new year.

a good commitee can decimate communication.

You have to get up early in the morning to fool the tenor sax.  Because he never goes to bed.  And the fates, well, I'm afraid they're lousy housekeepers, but artists are supposed to be like that.
