An excerpt
The Lead Guitarist
From a winter-scarred porch,
I peer at the skyline-
I'm a radar
Scanning for altitude
(Not that you should steer
By radar: that's like inviting rocks
Into your hull).
I see lines of Trans Atlantic
Clouds
As grey as poor rhythm
And as long as Beethoven's ninth.
But I imagine them as
Simply grey beasts,
Or ship-punching fists,
Or strings of blue hearts lost
In Les Paul-pickups-
Pickups that change finger-licking
Scribbles
Into electric licks
And screams.
I scan the blue sky above
The grey lines;
I'm a Malibu surfer
Sighting a dream-wave,
A Cariboo logger
Attacking lunch,
And a sunbather
With red shades.
Before my day ends,
I'll turn the colour blue
Into an overdrive-
Feast,
In spite of the ache-
In spite of /Me.
