Luna

"In the early curtains

  of the dusk

     it flew,

        a slow galloping"

Walk on the Wild Side

Walk on the Walk Side

Lou Reed

Holly came from Miami F.L.A.

Hitch-hiked her way across the U.S.A.

Plucked her eyebrows on the way

Shaved her legs and then he was a she

She said, hey babe, take a walk on the wild side,

Said, hey honey, take a walk on the wild side.

Candy came from out on the island,

In the backroom she was everybody's darling,

But she never lost her head

Even when she was giving head

She sayes, hey baby, take a walk on the wild side

Said, hey babe, take a walk on the wild side

And the colored girls go,

Doo doo… 

Patterns. Red and Black

A person is a pattern of behavior, of a larger awareness.

Happy trails to you today! It's #doodletuesday.

May your trails be crooked, winding, lonesome, dangerous,
leading to the most amazing view.
May your mountains rise into and above the clouds. -Edward Abbey

Polka Dots and Moonbeams

Listening to Stan Getz in the studio today and wondered what
image could go with such a title.
I drew my own polka dots and moonbeams.

Polkadots and Moonbeams

A country dance was being held in a garden
I felt a bump and heard an "Oh, beg your pardon"
Suddenly I saw - polka dots and moonbeams
All around a pug-nosed dream

The music started, and was I the perplexed one
I held my breathe, and said "May I have the next one?"
In my frightened arms - polka dots and moonbeams
Sparkled on a pug-nosed dream

There were questions in the eyes of other dancers
As we floated over the floor
There were questions but my heart knew all the answers
And perhaps a few things more

Now in a cottage, built of lilacs and laughter
I know the meaning, of the words: "ever after"
And I'll always see polka dots and moonbeams
When I kiss my pug-nosed dream
