Revised Edition: LukivPress (Victoria, BC), 2019. // 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. |
