Kind of Blue, Too

cyanotype 7
Spiders to Mozart,
what luminous webs
and notes we weave,
snot-strands from God’s blown brass,
tapestries of the eternal boombox,
breakbeats to spacefolk to bebop
within a deep forest
kind of blue,
the music, recorded
or un, plays on
and on, umbilical
in its immaculate tethers
and lighted reach.

Bulbs

Incandescence,
how bulbs aspire
to fragrant gospel.

Keen

Cyanotype 2
Her secret refuge,
at childhood’s keen edge, flirting
with grace on the rim.

To listen with eyes,
in a forest of deep blue–
Music spiring dreams.

Waiting, still, waiting,
the unbearable lightness
of life between homes.

Albert Camus

camus by bresson
Stranger to near self,
he tracked existential crumbs
to a chance verdict.

Thinning of the veils,
ghost engaging girl to dance–
No partner needed.
