Bahia
Walking along the Praia
I met a lady
With
Long black hair streaked with gray
She whispered:
“Make love to me
only
this one time
and
I promise
Macumba
will make sure you always remember tonight.”
Now
Alone
My Dreams
Always the same
Sitting on a milk crate
Using a hacksaw
Trying to cut chains from my legs
Back-and-Forth
Back-and-Forth
Back-and-Forth
No Escape

Lessons from the tropical garden!
A decade ago
I dug a hole
Placed the young plant into the soil
Nature
Provided
Sunshine and rain
Alcantarea Imperialis never asked for anything and always gave beauty, including a final gift of a spectacular flower and new pups to carry on.

Bottle of cachaça
Ceiling fan spins
Dust dancing in the air
Bossa Nova warms my insides
Looking out window
I see deception rising with tide.

Winter in Kyoto
Cheap tiny room
Kerosene space heater
Squat toilet
Large rice cooker
Soy sauce
Pickled ginger
Bottles of Sapporo Draft
Extra thick warm comforters
Sleeping on tatami mats
Two days cocooned together
We could have stayed in that room forever

What is your plan?
Collecting peanuts
Hiding them in sand
Power is finally found
Hold tight
Falling
Down
Down
Down
Uh-oh
No safety net
Except
Torn mosquito net
Bourgeois
Placing their bets
Repossessing your private jet
Shitting in pants
Throwing up in toilet
Elephant
No longer steps on mice
Demanding silence from fluff puffs
Who had to pay the price
Big Boss was a pimp in disguise
Controlled
Select corrupt whores
Until………………….
6 AM
Knock on the door
FREEDOM
Locked away
Never to be seen anymore

Leblon
Walking along the Praia
Her dog on a leash ran round and round me.
The lady said:
“Gringo can go free if he buys me an ice cream”

Long-time
Faraway
Roots cut
No longer check off the days
I tried to grab onto the high bar, but missed.
Now, I’m surrounded by fossilized dreams inside mason jars.
