Our Man in Europe, dave Delacroix...BROKEN....couldn't find da waiter.


broken things
broken lives
broken hearts,
all we know.

broken sink
broken song
broken wing,
and so it goes

broken love
broken home
broken life,
in a fast train

broken TUNE
broken muse,
a Mummery
where love speaks
of me and U.

1 / LAST TRAIN TO YUMA


...We DO NT get up till da crack of Noon, leave da CASA till TWO /markets closed, pranzo, siesta...we CRUISE the sun baked strada like Fellini, in embryo, staccato/suggestive!
Around Happy/hour, we-re back in bed; la dolce vita, but ARISE twix seven and nine, ERGO, missing da Cocktail yak and Amateur Night to boot!
Maybe at 3 in da morning we WALK the Moonlight Mile and gaze at the sea, unfolding yet more alternatives, later, to WORK, to WRITE, the Last Train to Yuma...in History.

We dont get up , arise, shuffle/muffle...till da crack of noon.

Our Man in Europe/dave delacroix/ "Under a Crescent Moon."


(dedicato: Reese Mulligan)


When U TRY to catch a Song that U once loved?
KILL: XYZ!...
Too bad for dem Strangers in da nite?
Wrong "Cool"/wrong dress/right smile/wrong song?

When U (in situ) try to catch a song?
Kill dee XYZ:
Too bad for dem Strangers in da nite?
Ever been one? XYZ? You?...

When U miss the bus, taxi shows up late,
limousine ran out of cocaine;
"X" says "Hi!"
"Y"says "No!"
"Z" says "Pay up! Or frick off and die young!"
 -Too bad for dem Strangers in da nite?

When U TRY to catch a song that U once loved?
KILL XYZ (think bout it!)
In Montmartre.
In Tuscon, Arizon.
San Fernando Valley, L.A.
110'th Street, New York City;

And so backtrack on dat XYZ and TOO bad...
for dem Strangers
in da nite...trying to get from under
a crescent moon?...

Our Man in Europe/dave delacroix/ "The Good, the Bad and the Ugly."


The Good, the Bad, the Ugly, and (the) mostly Evil find their way here? Sometimes - it happens! -  a "Stray", happen-stance? - to a cellar in HELL?. And Hell hath no fury like a woman-scorned: And for One and All...she spreads her legs.

The Good, the Bad, the Ugly "waddle" forth; roughage for the lean Evil who sit beside you on the bus, the train, the stretch limousine; did U ever kiss anyone like that? Funny taste? No! Don't answer! Make haste!

The Good, Bad, the arrogant Ugly, snuggled in your spiritual bed, touching toes? Does anyone KNOW a friend from a stranger, before, now, or years later... and if so, live to tell an incredible tale?

Our Man in Europe/dave delacroix/ "All 'bout EVE!"

Our Man in Europe/dave delacroix/ "All 'bout EVE!"

(dedicato: Carol Maria Aniello)


1) All about Eve:

The trouble with Paradise? NUTS to do. Adam to Eve: "Wanna'nother Coconut?"
"A Campari would be nice?"
"ALL OUT, doll. But dem sweet potatoes rollin' in mah hand-made "Still" should be good by next month; Vodka Rules!?"
"No GIN Martini, Hon?"
"Don't hold ya breath?"
"No Pernod?"
"Squeeze ya knees, doll!"
"How 'bout fresh Orange juice with additives?"
"Hang on. Let me take a piss; U know how it IS -the trouble in Paradise?"
"Ahah!" -sez Eve: "And how is it U muscular burning beef-cake - son of a gun - burning love, with a Degree in THEOSOPHY? How is it SO U NO LO SO?"
"How's What?"
"HOW is WE?"
Adam: (let me think...)
"It's ALL 'bout EVE!"


2) "This time last Summer."

U were drunk, pissed off, committing Romantic suicide on Sampera beach like a SWAN with 3rd degree burns; and I didn't know what to do?
Some lunar eclipse turned out the afternoon lights; everything went mauve or emerald GREEN, but YOU, you Orange-Red like a Blood-fruit?
Minutes later I took off my cheap sunglasses, wiped my eyes and everything returned to Mediterranean blue.
A premonition?... The following Summer, U swam out too far where a great white Shark gorged on your irreplaceable Intellect...


3) Song.

When I see YOU only?
When I see U lonely?
When I see U Comely?
I belong to U.


When I see U distraught?
Or wronged
and down in deep thought?
When I see what's NOT
but OUGHT, for U?
I belong to U.

When I see U Succeed?
When I see U Exceed?
Yet when I see U fail?
And when I see U fail?

-I belong to U.

...And when I see U Only?
When I see U lonely?
When I see you glow?
I belong to U...

Our Man in Europe/dave delacroix/ Castello di Falcanaro Elegy: " Love for Lydia".

Our Man in Europe/dave delacroix//Castello Falconaro Elegy: "Love for Lydia."


...and the love for Lydia will never end; yesterdays, today's, tomorrows, all those "far-aways" for which we dream unto?

...and the love for Marika, who splashes joy in your face, in sunshine, rain, or foolish downpour, saying: "Straighten UP Kid! BE somebody, in the Palookaville of your schemes?"

...and the love for Caroline, Anna-Maria, Elena, Rafaela, "sotto voce", then vocals up-raised to propel the Boy into his Inner-space where somehow, somewhere, perhaps he will find his OWN true heart...and Peace?
