The pop of jazz rushed a line from his horn long with lifting a breath desired as the world slips from his eyes opening dreams with furious release like night runners searching for safety where every street is an alley of a song yet formed as angels slip and run and crowds lean into … More OPENING DREAMS
Engine words roughed and ragged fell out of him, crushing the room, pushing back like a wind energy strengthening like a storm wild with debris and alarm waking the untrusting slapping the innocent Stirring an motion wild with song a moaning like windows opening after winter silence he stretches his … More UPSTREAM
A ripple of air passes over a curtain in an open window. Papers tumble gently, trapped at the base of a picket fence. A weathervane signals direction, twisting quickly. A furious language descends. Shutters slap senselessly without rhythm. Tree tops swirl like ocean bottom seaweed. Leaves … More FAR ABOVE
The fingers of his childhood pointed into heaven, teasing angels with music food, coaxing their beauty to his porch to slap their wings in approval. Mockingbirds held the tongue of their voices when his horn owned the air, bending the sky onto the dust of his shoes. Fields of labor stirred … More IN HIS COLOR
Highway trucks beat a rhythm of road. Red lights press and release like arteries pulsing. Steady and long, full and heavy. Songs of travel spin the blacktop; miles behind lay thin and pressed.

A quiet horizon slowly absorbs a flat bronze evening sky, its edges melting into a dusky mist. There were no low rumbles or gusts of wind or clouds forming and reforming; a weighted silence pressed down onto a solemn ground. It was a moment of looking up, Wondering what would be next. Preparing for change. … More NIGHT QUIET
