KXSW ~ yotsumono

 

 

KXSW* --
agencies and native tongues

connect in live streams

above this rag-tag village

eagles stay a constant course

the 'best in the west'

hop on board that yellow bus

certain of a win

once the creek fills up with fish

there'll be circles 'round the drum

*KXSW is best heard near dawn on a weekday morning, US central standard time; it will offer your spirit power

 

 

Cisco ~ Yotsumono

  forest verdure -
 from each a separate branch
squirrels natter and nag  

on every certificate
a check mark next to climate change

Nylon and Velcro

trading even up

for canvas and leather

before he passed on
'Cisco was a friend of mine

Facebook ~ Yotsumono

daytime moon--
figures in crayon scrawled
on every door



2 am it rained; now
the dogs bark at any noise



ever since we left,
that sofa we abandoned
sits there on the curb



logged on to facebook
in a language not my own

Hemingway ~ yotsumono

river and moon -
across the swing bridge
rust's silent creep


a masked tagger's
precarious balance


any time
Hemingway clenched his jaw
I'd buy us both a round


  the AutoMaid®️ grins
through smudges on the screen

Yotsumono ~ Hot Again; November

` Hot Again




a lone gull gliding
catches up to its cries --
Lake Mallalieu


kinetic theory
its rippling arc bending


pomade, coffee, talcum,
clean shirt, too -
the Fat Man's stick is hot again


a note, but no name,
and roses, just shy a dozen











` November



November --
countless raindrops to measure
the length of a day


a veil of frost
tints Johari's window


ranks of children
prone and obedient
to a flickering image


Lebensraum -
a none too distant dream
