Here’s a fragment poem from my extensive archive. This one probably destined for a future book of mine. Note: Hope Sandoval is the vocalist of the group Mazzy Star and also of The Warm Inventions. – C. L.
Revelations At The Mind Bar
I have a pen, and I must write.
One shouldn’t waste time or tools.
The smiling waitress agrees with a gesture
worthy of a fashion model turned cab driver.
Then Hope Sandoval sings on the jukebox,
and everyone here does nothing for a long time
becoming conceptual artists now traveling
in a smoke lumen note drenched aerosol.
Unable to see the wall, I reach for
the shot glass and bang!
Her eyes drill through the smoke;
the woman behind me from art scribble school
is rendering my torso as a notebook blob
blending all the years.
