Our Man in Europe/now Belize, Dave Delacroix: "Coming OFF the Mountain."
(dedicato: Rockstar CRAIG JOBE)
The full Moon ROSE and made silver-Palm-tree foliage, a sight ELECTRIC to our mood aside the Villas swimming pool .... As "A la, Mon braves" come off the mountain...the garden heralds a need for your care.
A sweet kiss CAN & shall prevail? Ponce de Lyon, Conquistador, forget El Dorado, playing high stakes: The Fountain of Youth! A cheap hotel where he ended his days, St, Augustine, F.L.A. Songs we get to sing.
Coming off the Mountain MY SWEET, my living dichotomy, mortality & the DARKNESS that surrounds? Love's URGENCE to defend? A sinew. a screw, sometime brutal sometime just plainly blue.
Coming down from the Mountain can I request a Song, a later time by the Ray Noble dance band (1930s) with AL BOWLLY on microphone singing: "The very thought of U"? Bowlly killed by a German (WW2) Nazi V.2. Echoes R the sins of Devils.
Coming off a mountain...a full moon arose to BLITZ tropical foliage-ZA-ZA! as we lay, swimming pool, insistent-guilty-pro-ignorant of World-affairs, the POOL, absent refugees of CARE!... It's lonely, cold, un-rewarding on the Watchtower. But without U civilization coldly UN-folds!...
As we march into potential OBLIVION with our Recipes, our SELFIES, our Media, the full Moon rises and makes silver-palm tree foliage, a sight ELECTRIC to enhance our fatal mood as we lounge by, guess where?
HA!!! And as we ask: 'a la, Mon Braves" come off the Mountain, the Garden heralds a need for your courage & Steel! Where are the Warriors of Yesterday? "Ou son les neige Cavalieri d'anton?".
And Old men like me (grumble-grumble) too old to fight, shake their heads & Mothers, alas, for their sons & daughter now will weep.
c.2025. Dave Delacroix.
