Under Leo: Part One The Frown and the Frolic

Blood moons Chilly Junes
Blood moons and stone fruits

sail boats no substitutes

auguries of the heart

mountains on fire

words evanesce

 

 

The mystery and mystification

of the Summer sign of  Leo

 

 

 

 

Like a bird on a wire

like a drunk in his midnight choir

I have tried in my own way to be free

 

All sorts of skywriting today

or the optical illusion

of writing

 

The moving finger

points to Sail Camp

at the lake Merritt Boathouse

 

They've just come in off the breeze

like a flock of butterflies

 

 

Great illuminations of Summer

they will recall in fondness

 

The fun of team work

 

 

Accustom the brain

to accommodate

vast blue spaces

 

 

Into the shady Palmetum

place of peace and solitude

 

 

 

Under the scintillating
branches of Summer

 

 

 

 

2.

Blue Mood Drive-by
West Oakland

 

 

I had been to the clinic

sobering developments

The world goes on

with or without you

 

 

 

 

 Each night without fail

for extends its frigid cat's paw

  

 

The day is overthrown

 

We are subsumed

in the marine influence of night

 

 

 

3.

 

 

The actual Nativity day

 

 

 

 

 

Birthday mango

extra large and fantastic

 

It is not a myth

mango with Cannabis

wants to

take you higher

And it's there

I want to go

 

I have complied with the plan

and added mint chocolate

Cannabis confection

 

Take the old Ford

down to the Square

park in the vicinity of fun

 

 

We have an understanding

 

 

Rest my eyes upon

the restless water

 

Forget about it

relax enjoy

 

 

Cool down by the water

but not as chilly as San Francisco

barely emerged from the fog

 

 

Gulls are not shy

he's stationed here because

people have food

 

 

All sorts of activity

paddle boats

powerboats

 

 

And the sails

of Summer

 

I was peaking

on the waters

 

 The waves carry

the retinal parade

past my perch

 

 

 

 

(to be continued)

 

 

Cat man do
your thing
