Cloud Shadow 71


Under the slow

movin' sun

and the

   blinkin' star light ~


As all the colors

shift around

and deepen

   into the night ~


I still got, how-

ever,

this awesome

   God Light ~


Gettin'

more

n'

   more bright ~


On this slow-lane

slowwwwwww

Deep

   Desert flight ~


Along a cracked

up

dried up

   deep river bed ~


So why

   am I ~

while the sun shines

   so "good morning" red ~


So why

am I

so filled with lone-

liness and dread?


Shiver me timbers!

what's

that

up ahead?




Cloud Shadow 72


I don't think

I'm capable of

describing

   this Light ~


As for the grandeur

of this canyon

a photo would maybe

   provide more insight ~


Actually, one thousand

post cards

might provide

   a tin key ~


As to how magnifico'

this canyon has

become

   to po' bony me ~


At

 an-

y

   rate ~


God Light

is

greater

   than great ~


It shines all the

tiiiiiiime

whether

   early or late ~


It shines in

a rock

and on the skin

   of Your Mate ~


It shines

in

a

   star ~


Maybe even in the

music made on an

electric

   geeeeeeetar ~


That is, if he who twangs

it can see past his

nose

   that farrrrrrr ~


Is knowledge of

God

this

 light?


I don't know

but it's

shorrrrrrr

   getting bright ~


In this canyon

up

which

   I fatefully trek ~


Marooned on this

faithfully

afloat

   tug boat wreck ~


But, God help me, what's

that monolithic chunk

of cheese

 up ahead?


That fills me with

loneliness

so much loneliness

so much dread...

Cloud Shadow 74


What do you

of that, little

 skeleton man?


Oh

You're so lovely

but on

thee

   other hand ~


I'm

    man ~


And a poor

skeleton

man

   to boot ~


Oh but

a

   hip tease ~


I'm

   old sneeze ~


So motionless

of

this Dam!

Cloud Shadow 75


Oh!

   why cannot I ~


Split

   ascend ~


Little babies

 all with-

   out any end...
