It's like this, and then there was total recall. Fast like a safety plan made wrong and then bouncing in and out all the way down the hall. Up through cable cars, Korean fast food market, wet fish, soupy street, concrete cracks filled with crab meat and **** heads. Just a square, a five block, two street, sideways quadrangle, beat of the Tenderloin, hour of the dove. Every one's dead on these loose ends. Hills of the back of her backside, skin of the back of her neck. Rapture is the grave of the sunset, memory is that thing that I said. No one cans in carnivores, no one runs moves like a shepherd. Sunday, daft as candy, luck in the ways of the prophet. Canon of the blaze of every woman that died today. The sleep setting, the motorcycle bending the hollow, the ravines noisy interlude, up through the rough and the tangles, huddles in a six pack, three or four walking up the block to meet the rest of them. The skin doesn't fit right, it wears wrong, the shoulders stiff, the masseuse excuses himself. Buckets of flowers hang from the ceiling like stripped cat christmas decorations in suburban mastermind serial killer resort town. Everyone is quiet because they gotta. They move their feet like they were hurrying death into a red volcano, like they were the errand of red from the top bell to the bottom of the town. I sit on a roof top, baking in the noon day sun. Stripping sticks and stems off the side to sideways, just roasting away, laying, low in the afternoon light. I see a girl with her hands on her skirt, wobbling, scooting a priest card on a periwinkle terra-cotta. I move my head, turn it upside round to take a better look. No one counts to ten when they see me. The gangster that woke up isn't the gangster that went to sleep last night. My wickedness ended my words mean your bright decay. So I ride the pavement exhausted, burying my coughs in an L-shaped arm

(A Reminiscence, 1893) She wore a ‘terra-cotta’ dress, And we stayed, because of the pelting storm, Within the hansom’s dry recess, Though the horse had stopped; yea, motionless We sat on, snug and warm. Then the downpour ceased, to my sharp sad pain, And the glass that had screened our forms before Flew up, and out she sprang to her door: I should have kissed her if the rain Had lasted a minute more.

A Thunderstorm In Town
You are me A diamond in the rough and an unpolished gem Rough around the edges: sparkles hidden by worn patches of life Lost in the hum drum of broken hopes and dreams separated by stretches of land; yet somehow, united on a whim You are me A mixture of soils and faiths A terra cotta *** planted with seeds of hope You are the stem to my blooming petals Grounding me, nourishing me together we are the Earth's rose You are me Hummingbirds of hope and lovebirds in the spring We are a paradise of believes in an ocean sparkling blue filled with all our dreams come true

You are me
are you collecting the old counts of how they slaughtered your son and his power-hungry heart, twenty three knives to the torso, the killing blow delivered by a beloved friend? or are those the scrolls that you wish dust would settle over forever, relics and reliefs of everything you see behind your closed eyelids. a politician’s mother must be all the more clever; her son will not be going into battle to die with honor but rather with deceit. give her-- you-- a laurel wreath, the irony of the goddess nike standing golden over the tomb of your son: emperor, caesar. mother of summer, of boiling july, are you not the sun? are you not the constellations freckling burnt pale skin? are you not the fiercest and brightest of warriors, quietly, without warning?

aurelia cotta
Pretentious you stumble, heeding terra cotta voices and the sigh of broken chimes. Disbelieving you fall, a sybil breathing rime- for visions have a price and you too must taste the salt. Flounder my pretty, for time has bought your emnity The blossom of your beauty a weathervane of trust.

Pretentious
Sweet lips encrusted in sugar from the hot doughnuts at the steam fair. Baked in the dusty sunshine of an August afternoon in North London. I would roam these streets from childhood into adulthood, Drinking £2,50 wine at bus stops only to get thrown out of the pub for illusionary bathroom shots Our real crime? Being too young. Since then, i have drunk Spanish manzanilla in an old tobacco store room Transformed into a house where wafts of old book smell mingling with the scent of baked terra cotta and lemon trees sweeps down dark corridors revealing hidden gems of traveled souls. Where there are streets that belong to Phoenician women , Arab traders , Christian crusaders and now the Spanish folk All these names we go by , yet still human we stand Up on roof tops, smoking sneaky roll ups to the elegance of storks Building nests on church domes and castle walls Monuments to remind the future Graffiti on the natural landscape , the ruins read " we waz ere" From shores of the Atlantic to shores of the Atlantic Brooklyn rises The night bus to eat pizza alarmed me How were the buses so different ? London's told you where you were New York's Made you suss it out for yourself In the company of a Father i hardly knew and the Mother of my new sibling Child , Who will you become ? Shaped by the contrast of your parents skin , your curled hair yet to emerge from fresh formed follicles Rest easy , This world Ain't so harsh I found God at the bottom of a bowl of noodles Simply sitting there , lazing about as i licked my lips of the residual chillies and sugar I deal in the order of paradoxes Born by the sea only to grow up in the 'so called' luxury of the cities jungle Although, resting now in the moon soaked mountain air , no city can compare, to the fragrance of flowers that bloom and scent only for those who brave the night I used to be afraid of the dark , Now i make love with it.

Tonight's moon is hazed...
*As I peeked, from my lanai, Luminous air waves, Flashed and sparkled, like thin spider veins, Blinking into the misty dusk. In rumbling and vibrating sounds, Creating shocking frequencies and turbulence, As thunder roars, neath the opaque clouds, With a loud disturbance. Followed by gusty winds, and cascading raindrops, Streaming into the midnight hours, Splashing upon the terra cotta rooftop, Showering the garden, beautifully.*

Splashing Upon The Terra Cotta Rooftop
The red flower centered between exotic curled lines evokes the smell of old Jaipur the Hawa Mahal ~ Palace of the Winds where the maharaja’s women once peered from pink honeycombed windows above streets overflowing with painted elephants, camels, turbaned men. A river of color, movement, sound from red-dust shrouded sunrise to ember scorch at the horizon line the desert broken only by the organic rise of dung and mud-bricked houses sheltered by one denuded tree, a mirage of shade. A cobalt hurricane spiral or vine’s end worn smaller than its origins its story, the shelf on which it sat perhaps a fragile immigrant, hand-carried from the old country by someone’s mother’s mother. Whole and admired for a century before its demise, told with regret-laden mouths mother to daughter, daughter to mother *Oh, I wish we still had that blue bowl great grandmother dropped when she heard about Roy* a circle of memory, come to rest on this distant curve of beach. The cream and blue striped shard could be my grandmother’s coffee cup rimmed brown and lipstick stamped sip, then drag on the Raleigh cigarette always attached to electric-tipped fingers. The cup was most likely broken in the war that raged until death parted my grandparents maybe it sailed harmlessly past my grandfather’s shiny head and hit a rock near the creek, exploding into pieces a small token of their shattered marriage a lifetime of regrets carried to the sea grievance-scrubbed, muted by the journey this sliver must be handled with care. The largest fragment found tangled in the eelgrass at my feet delivered on a tide of need at the ebb of an unexpected storm a perfect cross, soft edges raised on a rough slab of terra cotta. The fragile sun had warmed the worn shape nesting in my palm like a missing piece as my restless fingers traced down and across, across and down asking questions, seeking answers.

Don't forget that, I whisper to The pillow under Your cool moonlight. A sacrifice to My God, To your terra-cotta lips, Warm and glimmering, Like the tiles on a July day, On that chateau we stayed at in Nice. To your laugh, Gaffawing at a viral sensation, Bursting like the atomic bombs, To me, it's a champagne cork, That night in the balcony fountain. To your eyelids closed, The same ivory shade of your breast, And our children's cheeks As you held them, cuddle them, Tickle them, sob with them, So right in our roomy, rickety home. To your breath, Taken in like a quick pull of a line, Your arching spine, Parallels the bridge above our heads, As we sail on Catalina in the Sound. To your hands, Crinkled soft like paper, Tears ran down those creases As we passed through the shadows. But don't cry, wherever you are, For I am with you. In the creaking of the pedals, As you tumble off your bike. The sheets pulled over your face, Your body racked with sobs for Some boy, a cosmic second. I am with you in the bright gold of your cords, As you cross the stage for your diploma. I am with you on the dreary playground, As children in puffer coats and hats pick fun at you. I am with you in the collegiate cologne of the moment you gave it all up, Some boy, a cosmic second. But I am with you most in The moment you gained it all back, That supernova, explosion When we realized, like two old friends We'd been there together all the long, Birth to *** to birth to sick to death And all the love between, And then there was no part.

Born at the age of sixteen To again experience the cusp of noon sun At the bottom of orangeade syrup Indelible on your tongue, permanent In a mid-summer twilight At the touch of sweat skin and wet ears On maple arms and black foot night Singing to the will o’ the wisp (Leather bound a thought They will read it, perhaps pay And take pleasure in your hymn As verse of summer knows the animus Which lightens the load of e’ryone) Ineffable are his hands on terra cotta walls A hot whisper in the ear and cotton lips Which press the skin on beachy nocturne To the ocean, the unforgiving expanse That vomits all my woes Which I throw back into it To again experience the cusp of heat And boiling blood and salty extravagance The emotion at an apogee That makes the world a rumination of wonder (Not to live without fault But to thrive in its decadence) The heat of twilight cakes my legs in shorts On yellow sunspots, glowing in his amber eyes Soon, to appear on the cusp of gothic moor During the late ombre effect of dusky sky When its nighttime cataract reveals, the moon A pitted moonscape The moor is silent and whispers to its dwellers If I were to find him there, in the fresco Etched into the crystal caverns of night Would he respond in the marsh With the crickets between the reeds Or the owl on the ground mole As the whispers of naiads?

Saudade
Red gold stroking strings of Terra-cotta tocsin, bounced a check today and we wonder will she rot in her cups? How might we drink all these donuts... as a finger stirs the air, her drum roll eyes... time became tree limbs of propaganda. Why. Cloud kissed by hills hemmed in by patchwork stone, a providence in Perugia her cobalt dreams strum gypsy wings where yellow fringed faces follow the sun, an itinerant balloon tints the grass fucshia then drifts away to kiss the sky.

Providence
Where honeybees work Pineapple Sage , where the Cattails stand proud in the lyrical winds ... At the terra cotta crossroad where timeless love and friendships have coalesced .... Down the hillside toward hospitable , glistening , green bottom lands ... Across the grassy divide into sunny , well kept acreage ... Forever walking the field road to the Old Starr Dairy ......

She painted peace over the wounded mouths twisted with lies, truths unspoken, love never claimed, She brushed them with the pink of a newborn baby's lips She painted peace over the hands that held weapons, fingers that had pulled triggers to **** or maul, She scraped them green as the new shoots from blades of grass reborn in the Spring She painted peace in the hearts of those women and men who held broken pieces filled with sadness, scarred with inner rage She colored them red of the rose in full scent and full bloom She painted peace on the eyes and bodies of children stripped away from their life force, their source of mother She traced them the purest blue found in the color of water at dawn's first light She painted peace in families torn and broken She swept them with all the colors of the rainbow appearing just after the rain, when the light shines through with hope She painted peace in the indigenous souls torn from their culture and land She circled them the color of the green flash- the flicker of pure green born after the sunsets, existing only for a second She painted peace in the unborn and the born whose differences bring challenges to them and their families She skimmed them with lavender fields blooming in the swirling winds, with the sounds of the bees buzzing in joy and abundance She painted peace over the wounds, the carcasses of animals fallen in a frenzy of human greed and misunderstanding She whisked them golden as the sun rising in its glory to begin a new day She painted peace over the ghosts of the forests and their inhabitants She rolled them the brightest yellow of the night sky--the first star rising-guiding us though the whispers of time steering us in the darkness She painted peace in the waters, the rivers and oceans who were littered with the makings of man  She glided them silver to reflect the light that is always around She painted peace on the earth and women--places torn open and stripped, laying barren, vulnerable.   She covered them the rich colors of terra cotta- freshly made pottery from hands who love creation She painted the air, the unfiltered air, clogged, imbalanced She flowed it clear, the color of innocence - when we look into the eyes of the newborn, and those just about to pass. She painted it all, And when the summer sun melted the colors and subjects, she molded the forms, colors, scent, textures and sounds into the shape of love as eternity. She sang the sweetest birdsongs into the new day bringing in renewal   She painted peace into all of life.

The morning sun      in your hair,   a new blue dress, geraniums blooming   on a terra cotta veranda,     a sparkling mimosa   in your hand,    pelicans float silently   above melodic      aqua marine waves... Yet, all I see is your   eternal deep brown eyes,     for perfect beauty   is what I seek on this morning

When Caesar Wept for Cotta,
The grass was overgrown, And stubbornly fought Against the clean sheet we layed On it. I made you paint, And the floating haze in the air Stung my eyes. I knew something was wrong, We all did. We saw your emotions Doing backflips And pirouettes. We saw your sleep Running away from you, We saw the music clouding up Your thoughts So they couldn't hurt you. But none of us knew How wrong it was. I took two terra-cotta Flower pots In hand, And declared it a lovely day. You deemed it dismal. I waltzed into the yard, With bottles of bright paint, And soft brushes. I made you sit In the oppressive sunshine, With insects Whizzing around our ears To paint flower pots. On a long dog walk at midnight, You finally told me half of the truth. That you were having problems. The grass was still lively And springy, It was after the drought. You dribbled paint In pretty patterns, And I tried to convince myself This was good for you. It was the small early hours Of the morning, Lit with fairy lights, And your humidifier Puffing in the corner, That you told me the whole truth. You had given yourself until September. Printed an expiration date On your forehead. And I wish I could say In that moment I knew what to do. It's been a while now, I'd like to think I don't have to worry anymore, But I do. So in case I should, I love you. I love you, And I promise to never make you Sit in the sun And paint again.

Depression
carpal tunnel born of first-serve lets and second-serve ace comebacks -- from sloughing off winter coats to share between twelve -- my wrists are less than echoes and may have been little more to begin -- suspended by gossamer, brass-covered lichen and ticking fungi, like man, (with his whirling gears and mad metals) replaced nature's course with an automated system -- i would rust just to crack but they keep me too clean -- my sunspots have fled to warmer pastures, i am milk-buckets on overcast farm dawnings, but surely even they have seen the light of day -- splashed my face with wine and rooibos to see if i would stain like the canvas metaphor my generation ascribes to -- maroon dispersion in terra cotta wash, twining around a spiral course -- the folly of it went ignored 'til my lost and floating freckles gathered at the drain and clogged the sink to overflow.

a thousand crickets are chirping the air in these woods warm dry perfect the terra-cotta sun setting behind the path ahead growing smaller smaller what little light stolen every moment "We must get going" i say to myself and the muse that followed my fire our light flickering sight we cut a path through the woods why when where were not questions i cared to ask i cared to relax when that ****** muse that followed has been burned to ash "It'll be easy" it'll be perfect warm dry the air in these woods is on fire and a thousand crickets stop chirping
