sick sweet
heavy sweet
full mid august heat
heavy sun full
day turns honey brown
drip drop heavy sweet
sludge of spring summer
accumulates here bucket
swill together dark full
droplets amber sun heavy gold
drops dark red full burst
angle more steep sooner does creep
dark fall full deep
fall from gold heat
beat beat beat beat
beat beat beat beat --

kick her boy

tiny tomatoes were growing in the garden

willin belo

there's a Little Feat song, Willin', that has a chorus of
"And if you give me:
weed, whites, and wine
and you show me a sign
I'll be willin', to be movin'"

and i tried to fingerpaint it last summer, the weed whites & wine spiral movin' - hung with xmas lights, i took a rotating photo last winter



and then saw this mirror at chef's restaurant belo downtown in april-


and here's a youtube video of the song -

night visitors from god (c. 1987)

starring Leigh Revens as Dana Carvey as Church Lady

the last comanche war hero sips a mint julep in the bronx

i wanna write things that
when they're done
people will have to
go back and
re-read
immediately
and
often.

family resemblance

chain

so she didn't like it
now what will you do
whisper worn out secrets
to the neck of someone new
