Run on

 

Here in the middle

Our week is string

Wrapped in bunny talk

The divide appears softer

The heavy threat calms all

We have a chance to turn around 

So prepare now foe either way.


I had this right in my head,

typed wrong and lost it when I looked.

should have looked many hours ago.

About now firecasters

 

About now, right this very moment

Forecasters are turning their heads away,

Looking for a good movie to watch 

Because no decent eclipse will be available 

To be witnessed  on the eight day of April in these parts

Or anywhere hereabouts, I do so verily

Tweed pattern

 

New shoes fit fine, look good.

I want her foot happy.

Now morning clouds set to clear.

Give us an all-right day.

Eclipse clear we’re talking 

First off to Tajour, dentist-man

Tomorrow Into April, the fourth month

 

Been turning looking for rabbits

All around the yard they roam.

Not so predictable as before

But coming in unexpectedly.

A once in a lifetime eclipse is coming back,

This time straight down our street.

Just need a clear ten minutes.

We have a week to worry for an open sky.

like a dream come true

 left my beret in Finney Hall

Oberlin Conservatory of Music

called this morning to say i left my derby

then called back to say its a beret.

 

last nights concert featured a

great mezzo soprano and piano

then player on a stand-up bass made in 1741

then came in the rest: trumpet, drums, accordionist,

an unknown instrument from Brazil,

 

this entirely gave and got a "wow".

a top-line jazz and classical performance by all.

everyone took solos.

artists accomplished as is possible. 

surprised i didn't get cold feet.

they knocked my socks off


Clear sky

 

Starting regal

high  above the seagull 

soars an eagle.

from the field below is heard the lonely, baying beagle.

Without notes

 

Last night I had it planned.

Meri watched five jumping rabbits this morning.

They’re more organized than we are.

John Keats 1795 - 1821

The Protestant cemetery in Testacio.

Ode to the poet.

Wet early

 

Already rained hard this morning.

Will take my pills and start the day.

Sleep carried me through dreamland.

I’m set for rabbits in Spring.

Monday again

 

While still cold

Near the end of March

Toast is tasty 

Sky is mostly blue

The day seems heating to wonderful 

I’ll bargain we’re going for a good one.

The eclipse may have its day.

A break

 

Taking it easy because it’s Sunday again.

All is going slowly 

Later today we’ll have an idea

How it went, what we need to do.



Saturday, March 23, 2024

Covered white

 

Day begins quietly coated to the hilt.

Every branch and stem to be seen .

The padding silently fell

Reaching every spot, missing 

Not a dot


Good Morning nearly Spring 

Come hearty before us.

The time is right;

Mend spring

Orion fur finder


cast over the rolling waters 

On the dawn of a new day

A Welcoming for all into springtime.

You and I included 

Keep running in shadows

Been waiting

 

Doctor Ta jour today for me

Back again and pleased to see Seif.

He’ll check me up and out.

Happy for his work I  am.

Matching on

 

The corner is lit

Having a small fit

Outsized and charging 

With lights on low, pleasant.

Showered and cleaned 

A dusting of snow last night

Passing on to spring 

As soon as we can

For us all 

Standing together 



Monday, March 18, 2024

Swim or

 

Sometimes the alterations decorate

Well in a room

And on the wall.

We need a car with a new large interior 

Superior to what we have

Although it’s easy to get along 

With the same o , don’t chew know.

Lets decorate our way,

Way outa here.

Sailing

 

On the open sky we sail long and free

You and me in the blue 

The happy two

Smile lovingly,

How it should be.

Me and you

The happy two sailing on, and on.

Still wanting

 

All the work for Jeep.

Then I needed an agent.

Somebody made money on my work.

Perhaps another opportunity will come my way.


Although old I’ll stay sharp as I can.



Friday, March 15, 2024

On the way

 

Chris will lead the jazz orchestra tomorrow eve.

It is the session of the year every time

The groups of fifty are top musicians 

Well rehearsed and ready to perform.

I‘m anxious for the air to be broken

at Finney Chapel in luminous harmony 


Sandro died in Calci;

Giacomo got a new heart valve in Trestevere.

A difficult time.

City fix truck

 

Large Red lights on back

Very bright. Two yellow spinners on top

A circular brush on the street below front bumper

Much mechanical groaning noise five minutes not moving 

Then all is gone

Looping by

 

In the sky today 

Birds circling land on the wire

After the other 

Hardly staying, only testing their morning wings.

See what brings, what sticks

In  their ritual of new flying tricks 

To remain a while they shift belly weight to balance
