Tony Moffeit

i howl my blues

somewhere on the edge of the darkness i howl my blues
somewhere in the jungle of your rhythm i howl my blues
somewhere in the middle of the thunder i howl my blues
somewhere in the rain-slickened streets i howl my blues
in abandoned filling stations by old gasoline pumps
anywhere i can find the rhythm i howl my blues
juke joint junkyard midnight diner i howl my blues
in tortured weather with the sirens in the night
with the train whistles in the night i howl my blues
where the only thing that matters is the beat
where the only thing that matters is the heat
it's the blues i howl your body in the night
your body a blues i howl in the night
where the shadows scream in the night i howl my blues
where silhouettes disappear in the night i howl my blues
by bathroom light by alley light i howl my blues
tracing the outline of your body i howl my blues
when there is nothing left i howl my blues
when bells sound in the night
when windchimes sound in the night i howl my blues
with the fireflies i howl my blues
shaking fever of your body's storm i howl my blues
gasoline rainbows in the street i howl my blues
it's a blues i howl like hail on the rooftops
something coming from deep in the gut
something coming from your deepest sleep
something that nobody sees
hear my ghost moan in your dreams
eyes tired hungry for more i howl my blues
in the desert of your body in the river of your body
in the shadows whispers mirrors candles
in the backalley scarecrow twisted tree moonglow
in the mountain stream vapor cave roadside grave
in the abandoned shacks on backroads
in that dark dance endless in the night
dreaming of the drumbeat i howl my blues
giving birth to thunder i howl my blues
in a haze of fever i howl my blues
i am in you you are in me i howl my blues
shifting identities outside of time and space
drinking all the images spinning in the mirrors
shining in the luminous night i howl my blues


         snake dance

  the best road is a road to nowhere
improvising a solo in a land called zero
  stood open to find real touch down under
     as if to tell so deep out of me at any moment
  swallowing as you stand down here at the edge
all down until the lightning to pass through
     the eye of the needle blind with seeing
  what to do but get into the rhythm
            i will ask no road of it
       no exit missed no wrong turn
over the edge all down to it
   even now we see


casino royale

all flesh
all blues
  blaze pulse
jazz swoon
  keep the way
don't deny
our night
  spotlight
dark waves
  earth spin
who we are
wave fire
  each cell
red hot
  chant jazz
   zodiac
