sun sets by the park
ducks whose proud necks extend high
fought the urban wars
sun sets by the park
ducks whose proud necks extend high
fought the urban wars
the angels orange
in their glow today appear
super strange to me
it is strange for me
to have blue peace in my mind
i can go to sleep
holy roller wave
loving spirit on the way
piercing through the sun


last night hope shone once
her dreams of home laid to waste
unlucky salt dash

today God tried your
painting method using skies
and tiny trickled
markings on the sand
He got most of the lines right
clouds and horizon
pebbles and calm waves
well what do you think Pablo
looking at His work
thinking not half bad
you suggested a line there
between sky and land
His and your eyes met
creating soft puffs of light
witness of splendor

the raven takes me
these walls of her i leave now
born as daughter moon

decrease the speed wild
child of the streets the Queen begs
don’t rush life away
your LA spirit
girl troubadour of the night
rock hard and steady
Hollywood sign up
ahead but it tells you to
stop and see yourself
rocket pops blue tongues
raspberry lemon salute
sweetness in my soul
bitter beer hot dog
smoke woodsy lingers in my
pony tail swooshing
the hogs growl as the
jean and leather veterans’
eyes well up with Taps
the leathery feel
of my uncle’s tired hands
while i trace his scars
a little young girl
did see the poignant pain in
his tribulations
for ever brothers
gone away heroes to the
Elysium Fields
