Our BONNIE LAD in Europe, now Belize, Dave Delacroix: "The PLAID Sky."

ALL THE LEAVES R BROWN & the sky is PLAID; my Sporran's in the wash & my Kilts all frayed. Guess U gonna CATCH ME in my Under shorts; nutting to worry, whisky in the JAR-O! (Tra-la!)

I went into a Church. Strictly dress-code. Got thrown out on my ear...on a Winter's Day? The bristles on my thighs & calves (BRRR!), don't think I'm gonna stay. All the leaves R brown. On such a Winters day.

The BAGPIPES DRONE (Drone-drone-drone!) they got something to say. Romance, History so I got down - KILT-less - on mah knees? I gotta share it 'wiv U; JEEZE-CHRISTIE! All the leaves R brown & the sky is plaid.

(Song ends here. Ran out of song, California-Dreaming Alt. ideas. 3.a.m. Cats need feeding & am running low on Scotch. Sorry bout dat.)

Our Man in Europe/now Belize, dave delacroix: "Song for a Cougar."

...WHEN THE NIGHT has come, U feel like U don't belong, those Crochet lessons didn't work out & ya JUDO exercises somehow seem dumb-ass wrong. So don't TRY, don't bloody well Try. Put on that Kimono, pour a Whisky & soda. No worries. I will stand by U.

Now IF your Stocks & Shares on Wall Street ...get to tumble & fall and that GIG-A-LIG-LIO U been hiding out found some other Cougar to fall? It ain't the NIGHT, it ain't no blight; sweet SISTA, we gotta fight throughout it all? I will stand, stand by U. I will give U my shoes. (the Left one) I will always...stand by U.

Don't be AFRAID! Don't be afraid. Don't GROWL at what U made. Night or Day, which-ever-ways the wind blows, I'll stand by U. (Keep repeating till, like me, U climb up a tree!) Get off that Cellphone to NODODY important! Find ya-self an honest Toy-Boy, get ya-self a decent BOOK, Camus, Sartre, or some Bodice-ripping historical Romance!

(Just a thought.)

When the NIGHT has come, ya feel like U don't belong? Just know, I will stand by U. S-WOT WE GOT! I will stand by U & be true. I will stand, stand by U, stand by U.

Our Man in Euro pe, now Belize, Dave Delacroix: "On Calvary!"

 Our Man in Europe, now Belize, Dave Delacroix: "On Calvary!"

HEY HOSANNA! Where have U gone? And that street laced with Palms, your Caravanserai, the "carpet" for the dude who threw-out Shekels from the Temple WAILING "Love & Peace" must prevail? 

(On Calvary!)

HEY HOSANNA. Mary Magdelin! Did U kiss her too? Have KIDS!? And after that "river-gig", JOHNNY-B, did he wash away your Sins, make U new?

(On Calvary!)

HEY HOSANNA. We R awash in our desert, we're lost in the fold...."WOOLIES-SOCKS", U steal ME, we steal U? Hurtling thru SPACE, a universal revolver of consequence; whotcha gonna DO?

(On Calvary!)

And as for that Christ, a-splayed on the cross, foretold for ALL man, we ALL gotta go there some day, a place, a reservation, some Calvary awaits. Foot dangling? Nope. Calvary don't sleep.

(Singing:) "Oh Susannah, come sing along with Me? Gotta JAR-O on the table & a Banjo on mah knee!"

Our Man in Europe/now Belize: "The Wings of a Dove."

 

Our Man in Europe, now Belize: "The Wings of a Dove."

WE DIED BEFORE, so many years ago

We died somehow, wailing

hand in hand.

Somehow, we died. 

An-inherent in our plans

yet we DIED, that kiss

that hand in hand.

WE DIED in a Song

the one we never knew.

We passed-away

Love's sway,

a Mississippi Blues?

Still, we died in that labyrinth,

an intoxicated coil

OILED by differentials,

a Society to despoil.

We died in Yesterday's-Tomorrow

a Song upon the cusp.

the sweetest kiss, your breasts a-cup

the ecstasy of NOW - but GONE!!!

And though we died, the WORLD

still fried into our burning cup.

Yet we died, yet survived

in the ashes of our Love; 

there goes star-crossed Lovers

and does anybody see bird's wings

flying noiselessly into the sky?

Nope? Me neither!

They just pass on by.

The wings of a Dove.
