MUSIC FOR DAWN GAGAKU CONTINUED

 

& the joggers i see outside

getting a head start on the day
well i pretend theyre just late

whatever gets you thru . . .

with music at dawn

more flexing gymnast 

than rocket coffee grind

MUSIC FOR DAWN GAGAKU

its a soft power

& a new bulletin

an expert gear shift

in an eighteen wheeler 

dream high - gatekeeper high

& a voice 

stumble-breaking 

emotion-thick

exactly where it should

family apologies
& dinosaurs 

playing up on the hill

abattoirs - moo
& 

the hazy stoned-glow golden days

long gone long gone long gone

i found music for dawn . . .

its a mescal hangover 

the soft grass of the alps

& a baltimore spring

CAFE MADRIGAL 2 - MAUDE MAUDE MAUDE

homewares shop

early / weekday

not busy yet

i sit under a false ceiling
in their corner cafe approximation

and i really dont want to judge
but who 
employed
that
sluggish mouthbreather
ruling
the
checkout till ? 

coffee machine
beyond her
tunnel vision
hamfist
capabilities

who barked
MAUDE MAUDE MAUDE
to
get
me
a
simple cup of joe 

her dull eyes smug
pink and yellow
and judgemental

enthroned in joggers
in
her 
tiniest
of
kingdoms
