FRED


At the funeral they knelt

before priestly laundry

then bagels for the twins

running to the pool glazed

doughnuts on Jell-O onward

hello- reward soup & salad

wake of deleted keyboard

candled ash amazing grace

shaking tremolo of hand

the last smoke-ring.



Down At Wall's Wharf


songs and sangria again they fly

bird sign signals and gulls

your granite sins multiply

seductive yet impossible

now paint

totally clear and jumps out

hovering physical dna evidence

adding gongs of lichen

getting out leaf lists

of broken rambling...

Spalding Grey was like him

balding at the ears

badgering elephants

voice nasal geography

random ice cube gin

circumstantial

on the radio he arrives

stuck on the big escape

staring out the barroom window

off the bridge
