Far away sounds imagine diamond patterns Some kind of hieroglyphics against concrete Faces reappear from nowhere Like ghosts shipping us flipside To out-of-town relatives Hitting the world with 2 x 4’s And a streetcar named Desire Like dogs running to whomever has treats Licking their black feet Moments fracture a sonic boom Gouging out the toughest opening Like children at the edge of a continent Hanging on by a thread Meanwhile, 2 more babies are on their way in Today came home before sunset And I thought about spending my whole life Inside a city.... When a carefree chariot, suddenly drove up Placing garlic around my neck Without resisting the notion Pointed my nose toward some unknown Horizon The song was over But the music still hovered inside my head |

what I love the most about your poetry is the images you leave us with, and the thoughts held within... again, you capture a moment in words. Very well done. The greatest beauty on earth, is |

Awesome comes to mind every time I read one of your works and this is no exception. Your seemingly flawless talent for taking a feeling and projecting it across a screen in the minds eye is amazing. Excellent write and even better read. Let's hope the music never dies. |

Ahhh, you are a poet for sure. But your insight in your living is magnificent too. JL |
