We're all on a road to somewhere.
Riding the bounds
Sailing high in creation
Things that astound
on the wing
in the deep
under the ground
Yet consciousness
hard up against the glass
of this broken existence
A spirited defence
yet only token the resistance
at the cutting edge
of forsaken circumstance
Or … the Salvador dialling ?
‘Lobster Phone’~ by Salvador Dali
Must be Dali calling !?
‘An Allegory with Venus and Time’
… by Giovanni Battista Tiepolo
Meanwhile …
here on Planet Earth
A feline on the prowl
to the beat on the street
of an Allen Ginsberg howl
The walk, the talk, to stalk
To click the mouse
of an indiscreet meet and greet
Then hiss the growl
with some lone wolf
of nondescript sandwich meat

‘Angelica saved by Ruggiero’
~ by Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres
Upon a Dragon’s Breath
(and the Persistence of Grace)
This existence
an enigma
wrapped in a shroud
of destruction
Death and life
trouble and strife
Humanity battered
Reflections
from a mirror shattered
A toxic cloud
in mass production
The suffocation
the slow seduction
Life and death
riding the trail
of a dragon’s breath
Toads a’ croaking
The sugarcane high
Fools rushing in
where the angels
fear to fly
Doors broken
thrown open
Eucalyptus trees
torn asunder
in the claws
of electric thunder
from a cyclonic breeze
Bells toll for the souls
strung out on the line
Then hung out to dry
in the doing of hard time
Yet not a word of goodbye
so what could I do ?
She gone with the man
with that dragon tattoo
