once I'd selected that
I'd head for the ravines
where there was a dried
one with the fastest
neck & prettiest
spruce flat-top
behind my Appleton house
creek dent in the dirt
& if there upon it
this axe shared
acoustic sustain with a
sparrow then it would go
to the gig: & this selection
of guitars still
can sing like a bird picking
at the old creek bed.
a Cardinal
will protect my daughters
I say as the second shall
come this summer as
will not give up the perch
dog realizes there is no good
:the grass shimmers
settling into Zazen
the dog must defecate
sits on our
redwood table
next to the lilacs
with an abandoned
Robin's nest
chased away
they were
by this
dog who
can ask to go
out with the smile
of charity & who
with frozen terror that
even Robins cannot live
near in summer daughters
Molly Dvora to join
Sarah Terez
& this Cardinal who
shared by a mate too & the
challenge or that their calls
are not for territory just
for ease of flight
there is peace in the yard
down the cherry tree moves
up &
I am
sitting right where
so in moving I meditate
in ecstasy with my scooper.
do not give me any
art of motorcycle
:just ride your
not a Harley-Davidson
just affix it to where
place except through
foreign designs stuck
of that Zen & some
maintenance stuff
bike & if it is
then maybe you should
the sun don't rise any
those rustholes upon
out on American roads
.
