(Dedicato: Lucrezia B.)

LA LUNA...

DO U, under "la Luna", fall in love, kiss the misty morning, legs-a- tremble, like a fawn...and then succumb - leaves rustle! - feel a "belevedere" of magnificence, become INDOLENT; then awake to the stark terror of your Life?

DO U, under "da MOON"; DID U carve your name on a forgotten-childhood tree, like - for ALL TIME - you wished it to be, not caring just who came by, who would READ, not knowing the Harvest, only to Witness the Seed? DID U, under da Moon?

DID U, under "la Luna", crack that SOUL, that Shell, the Brittle, the Detritus? DID U kill the "thing" before the Start? -Unconsciously, out of sight of the Sun, in the DARK, where an eye could only glean a reflection?

DO U, under, "La Luna"?..

Our Man in Europe/dave delacroix/ XMAS BOX! (No prezzies for da Rezzies!)


1)  Moon over Sunset (Blvd)

There's a moon over Sunset,
dolphins in the bay.
Joggers down St. Vicente:
Song of L.A.
Yeah, there's some Kids
down Hermosa?
-Basket-ball fame;
and there's some Cat
out of Westwood
who'll never go to school
again?

...Any way U take this Free-way
AROUND
it comes up, just the same?
There's a Girl and Boy
in a famous poise;
I hop it never ends?

Well, there's a Moon over Sunset
"Bag Lady" rhyme,
and there's some Big Wednesday surfers:
Malibu Jive!
And there's a KEY
to the City
hidden in the smog?
And there's some Hollywood heaven
where so many dreams get lost;

Any way U take this Free-way
AROUND
it comes up, just the same?
There's a Girl and Boy
in a famous poise:
I hope it never ends?...

(Well?) There's a Moon over Sunset!
(Say'in I love you.)
There's a Moon over Sunset!
(Say'in I love you-you...)



2)  "Old Man's Song"

DEATH in Summer?
...Bunch of Angels,
dancing around
down on the Farm.

Death in Winter?
With Diablo!
-It's WARM!...


3)  "TREASURE ISLAND"

The UN-loved, the disgraced, the
UN-forgiven, without a Country
WEEP...it is ordained! No-one
knows WHY; a Doctor, a Missionary
- maybe -  even cares? And who
can delve into the Soul of Another;
wife, sister, brother or mother?

(Singing:) "To the SEA Me'boys!"
Onward! To that OTHER.
To wake up the mind
on a treasured isle.

...It's NOT what you take;
largely, it's not what you MAKE;
only the sweet kernel
-of ALL too rare Wisdom
spilt from the trembling hands
of your Maker? -as your sister,
brother, wife, your mother
...sing the song of the Earth.

(Singing:) "To the SEA Me'boys!"
Onward! -To that Other!
To wake up the mind
on a treasured Isle...
