Our Man in Europe/dave delacroix/ "A Month of Sundays..."



.....LEAVE ME ALONE
this Month of Sundays,
don't bother to phone, Absolutely!

NO Smoke-Signals;
West of the Pecos,
re-WIND the film
where Doc Holiday
pulls a TOOTH: another
gigabyte for the O.K. Coral?

And the BANSHEES wail
-it's ALL they DO!

(Please Read: Eleven steps on ...
How to be a Banshee)...

And the BANSHEES wail;
that HELL-in-Voice, curling:
"Every body's Welcome!
STEP RIGHT UP!"
-Wotcha gonna-Do?

OR: "What's it all about; ALFIE!?"
/Whatever)

Leave me alone
this Month of Sundays
and make it THIS
Month of Sundays,
forever, ever,
ALL your Sundays:
somehow, some way,
with-in the breeze of your heart?

"WEDNESDAY MORNING: 3.00 A.M."



1:  CUORE SENZA NOME, a Heart without a Name


Cuore senza Nome, a heart without a name, a kiss of loneliness, a Lone Star Badge on a Texas range? A kiss at midnight, a Tomorrow, a Tomorrow, a DEVOTION, a kiss, a promise, a faith, a truth and ALL U hope to see? Or believe?

Cuore senza Nome, a heart without a Name; that Gift they give in College, in Sports, Politics or Fame? A Trophy to amplify, an empty Sea-shell: put it to your EAR!

Cuore senza Nome, a love without a name; a WHISPER "Fly! Fleance-Fly!!!", a DANGER, a "Yet-to-be!" An EXPECTED  kick in the GROIN: but  it's NOT the PAIN, it's the WAITING...that unravels the serenity U have found?

And ALL these STINGS, unknowing, "Cementing" your FREEDOM to an After-life of Self-doubt and  deception?

Cuore senza Nome, that Lady-in-Waiting, at your Nuptials, awaits your triumph; the butcher's knife, concealed between her folds of Taffeta as U and your new  Bride parade down the aisle...



2:  The Night is Hollow

As the Night is Hollow
I will find mah Gal
I will find mah Girl
I will find my Gal;
as the Night is Hollow
U-betcha!

As I Strum mah Guitar
I will find mah Gal;
I strum & I strum
I will find my Girl
Yet as the Night is Hollow;
my Gal will come!

As the Night is Hollow
I strum & I sing
I will find mah Gal
I will find mah Girl;
She was the SWEETEST ONE
in all of the World.

As the Night is Hollow
As the Night is Hollow
As the Night is Hollow!
I WILL NOT
BE THE ONE
to lose that Girl!....



3: MADRE v. VESPA

"Quando una momento per il Madre, senore, ragazzo? Quando - ON-LINE? -do U have a moment for your Mother? -On your VESPA!?!" (Please TEXT your response: "Mamma! I'm crashing on my Lambretti!" (Ole!)

Come bella
I'm no good for U;
Il Mondo Pazzo

But when I FLY away
the tips of my wings
will dry the tears
on your cheeks.
When I fly away
the tips of my wings;
will touch our Everything!

Come stai

Come tua vita?
Faraway

But when I fly
the tips of my wings

will dry the tears
amore, amore...
becoming everything?.... (YO!)

Our Man in Europe/dave delacroix/ "Catch a Lie/As I live and breathe..."

(dedicato: Tina Kover)


AS I LIVE and breathe; it's YOU! As I live and breathe, to see U again? As I live and breathe, U got "well done"? So did I (this side of Paradise) U can STICK the fork in!

As I live and breathe, Tina K. met McConnell & it ALL worked out fine! Whilst the Knaves in our Pack, found OUT -about themselves, spiraling-lonely into some dank, dark place where No-one lives or breathes as WE live, as I live and breathe?

SOME mornings get the Jump on Others and leave behind that scent of Wandering? Who's ahead; who, on our trail? Yet, as I live and breathe, it's only an old tune, a catechism, a reluctant poke in the eye? Still: it CATCHES A LIE.

As I live and breathe, it's YOU! As I live and breathe; to SEE U again!? As I live and breathe; now? I can live and breathe.

(dedicato: Antonio, Hotel Relais, Modica)


TWEEDLE-DEE and Tweedle-Dum; as the Bella-donnas passeggiata. ONCE I saw U in my Mind's Eye as a Bella-donna, passeggiata? And SHE once saw ME, vibrant and bold; a Man on a Mission, a story to be told?
I FAILED in her eyes, I (Mio!) didn't "work out", on her Passeggiata, her Twist & Shout?
O SOLE MIO!?...
Tweedle-dee and tweedle-dum, as the Bella-donnas passeggiata; as the Belles passeggiata...
