Houston Blues Friends Revisited 1 comment
Houston Blues Friends in Memphis with Joy and Kenne (01/23/10)
Hard Daddy
I went to ma daddy,
Says Daddy I have got the blues,
Went to my daddy,
Says Daddy I have got the blues,
Ma daddy says, Honey,
Can’t you bring no better news?
I cried on his shoulder but
He turned his back on me.
Cried on his shoulder but
He turned his back on me.
He said a woman’s cryin’s
Never gonna bother me.
I wish I had wings to
Fly like the eagle flies.
Wish I had wings to
Fly like the eagle flies.
I’d fly on ma man an’
I’d scratch out both his eyes.

Lay down these words
Before your mind like rocks.
placed solid, by hands
In choice of place, set
Before the body of the mind
in space and time:
Solidity of bark, leaf, or wall
riprap of things:
Cobble of milky way,
straying planets,
These poems, people,
lost ponies with
Dragging saddles—
and rocky sure-foot trails.
The worlds like an endless
four-dimensional
Game of Go.
ants and pebbles
In the thin loam, each rock a word
a creek-washed stone
Granite: ingrained
with torment of fire and weight
Crystal and sediment linked hot
all change, in thoughts,
As well as things.

He celebrates and spurns
His driftwood forty-eighth wind turned age;

Caught In The Rain 1 comment
I tried working in an hour walking the East End Park trails before a forecasted storm.
The sky was partly cloudy as I neared the lake.
An image from close to the ground looking toward the lake.
Cloud reflections on the water.
This image of the sky and clouds reflecting off the water is deceptive because dark clouds were already beginning to build up behind me.
By the time I reach the park parking lot I was soaked. (December 29, 20022) — Images by kenne
