magic four

magic four

starlings
looking for stars
on the lawn

thrush
falling in a hush
on the wing

blackbird
heard in the
bottled sweetness
of dusk

magpie
swaggering
ambling
gamboling
rather than fly

the white
dealt out on
the black.

for Keikei

Japanese singer & songwriter, Tamaki Koji.

the
music
loved,
the steps of
piano that
walk you into
the darkest
hours of the
night by a
silver hand,
the voice
of the japanese
singer like a
sunset on a
lovers’ beach,
martinis floating
paper sails pinned
on olives
in the glass,
a string quartet
that squares
the edge of
being into
a space you
comprehend
with eyes closed
in softness,
such music
we love
and
love within

of a day

‘rain mirror’ by Little Cat

the  r   a  in   standing    like   a  dark  mirror

    in the  afternoon

turning   the room upon    itself /

the   concrete   driveway   to

water   engraved   over

w  a t  er  /

the   le a ves   gutting

     image     from   the drops

one  to   another.

 

spring    abandons    all  this     into  shadow
