SINGING INK
poetry and fine arts - poem
from magazine usa 1 june 1970 CREEM vol.2 #14
reprinted on back cover of 1971 MIRROR
MAN album
-
bleeding golden ladder clacked night black lobsters
with one white sun charged shell someone sparkled
with tiny salt clusters popping with the deep pressures of space
many reached the emery ocean and glowed on its bottom
gripped with sand worn pincers for their life's place
spent loose against tide ripples
returned up the ladder to top light's return next night

around 1969

i like the way the doo dads fly
one nest rolls after another
