la jolla nightclub (haiku)

La Jolla, you in
your stillettos- upturned nose-
hazy your motives

holds promise despite –
in spite, the waves Pacific
still wash the beach clean.

black plastic conceals
a red silk scarf… say IT loud —
poof, it disappears!

[i had a toy when i was young that taught you magic…. i just remembered it tonight for some reason]

trust yourself; release
the ball. i shook his left hand —
courage, conviction.

some mornings like this
sky opens wide to drink in
harbor hill and girl

glasses imprinting
you want what you perceive to be
calm be stable, be….

a thousand reasons
rational logical yet
set aside, dusty.

Bobbing quiet in a
Melted crayon sea I am
Floating far away.

floor hard on my bones
ceiling looks down in pity
mascara runs… runs….

went to my first Phish show (only about 15 years late). a beautiful night –

pyre of sound to
moon witness colors shine that
green music alive!

community speaks:
“second set sparkle! will you
be here tomorrow?”
