The blackness
of the sky,
caused by
changing
blue to black
in Photoshop
removing all color
changing the
vibrations
captured by your
optical nerve —
what you see
is not always
what you get.

No chance of rain here
walking down the avenue
from booth to booth
dodging people not looking
bands playing on a nearby stage
stopping for a beer and a snack
only to photograph people eating.

Memphis Blues Leave a comment
Memphis Blues — Image by kenne
I was always drawn to the roots music, bluegrass, blues, early rock – Sun Records, Elvis [Presley].
And I still love that music to this day. Memphis never gets the credit.
It’s much more musically rich than Nashville ever will be.
Nashville manufactured that hokey-hillbilly image way back.

Village of Elgin, Arizona, Wine Tasting Room (June 23, 2018) — Image by kenne
One day in June
we tosted raising
a glass with newÂ
friends on the road
I quoted the poet
sounding effete:
“Oh, it was a brave
man who drink one.”
Feeling brave, we
proceeded to drink.

“These Fellings” — B & W Abstract by kenne
You know it ain’t easy
For these thoughts here to leave me
There’s no words to describe it
In French or in English
`cause diamonds they fade
And flowers they bloom
And I’m telling you
These feelings won’t go away
They’ve been knockin’ me sideways
They’ve been knockin’ me out lately
Whenever you come around me
These feelings won’t go away
They’ve been knockin’ me sideways
I keep thinking in a moment that
Time will take them away
But these feelings won’t go away

In the world, nothing is a walk in the park.
Those that try to succeed quickly,
are those that fail quickly.
When people act,Â
hope is inevitably born.
Hope is humanity’s life force
As long as one doesn’t lose that,
a person does not age in vain.

Driving Through West Texas 1 comment
Driving Through West Texas — Image by kenne
West Texas
West Texas is a never-ending ocean of hot sand
Winding dunes shifting and changing earth’s skin
Cactuses standing sentinel over desolate wasteland
Tumbleweeds carried by parched bone-dry wind.
Behold the cactus country scorched and unforgiving
Dry hard packed earth baked in the intense sunlight
Heat rising and objects in the distance shimmering
Then comes the mirage the dreamy desert sight.
Gusting howling wind whistling over crumbling rock
Slowly forming wind-worn rock formation over time
Lost in time but not a prisoner to any man’s clock
Boundless desert will be painted poetic and sublime.
The least little bits of wind will raise puffs of dust
Dust Devils swirl on the dunes and dancing perform
Leaving clouds of dusty grit floating like smoke thus
A prelude to the nightmare of a desert sandstorm.
There is an oasis in the desert a haven from the sear
Cooling waters and with vibrant desert blooms are rife
A beauty is in the desert’s pure clean atmosphere
West Texas is arid fierce and fiery but it’s full of life…..
Nobody Special

simply for the reason that they are heavy.
