she lays down often
now that summer is hotter
her dewy jade eyes
are fading faster
into a darkness behold
Mother’s heart beats less
her skin now scented
of decay and loneliness
she saw her future

she lays down often
now that summer is hotter
her dewy jade eyes
are fading faster
into a darkness behold
Mother’s heart beats less
her skin now scented
of decay and loneliness
she saw her future

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
