Maybe All The Defeats Are Something Else

motoring into San Diego

motoring into LA

motoring into Las Vegas

seeing in the mirror a flash of sun

and, behind:

the terror of the Scotland years

the farmhouse where they slumbered with an axe

or a handgun

the world a bright true thing of zero escape;

and the first places:::

Camberwell

South Balham

Earl’s Court

a hootsville faerietale

bluebeard chasing.

never there. never able to flee.

so what do you do, you do this: turn the lamp off, fall through the dark, Ornette Coleman squawking jazz from ‘63/64, fall into stars, nebulas,

rocket now for

lands

only

you

can

know🌟🌟🌟
