Our Man in Europe/ dave delacroix/ "...Old Gal."


(dedicato Maddy Prior)


(Olde English Folke Song:)

There waz 'an ol' Woman who lived in da Woods?
(Wheena-wheena-Warned ya!)
There waz an Ol Gal who lived in da Woods;
down by da river, Corn-ya!!

She was fair, but she had a Tongue:
(Whenna-wheeyah warned yah!)
Don't get married to dis fair Gal,
down by da river: Warned-ya!

She had a love, he died as so;
(wheena-wheena, warned ya?
Left her all his money and his  Gold
down by the river, Miss Warned-ya:

She had a BABBI, six feet tall
(Wheena-wheena warned ya?)
She chopped his head off with an Axe
down by da river Warned-ya.

There waz an ol' Gal who lived in da woods,
(Wheena, wheena, warned-ya?)
There was an Ol Gal who lived in da Woods;
down by the river Corn-ya! Down by the
river Corn-ya!

Our Man in Europe/dave delacroix/LORD BORGO: ""Mia Amore?"

Our Man in Europe/dave delacroix/  Mi Amore?"


MI PERMETTI DI CANTARE LA TUA VITA?....Mi permetti di cantare la tua Vita? Mi Caro, adesso, Vecchio, permisso; let me sing a song of your Days?... Taunt limbs, gangbusters, bella Viacchi? Bikini, Rimini, Goddess: Silencio: Il Bouche: silent Kiss? A Glance, a Sideways look, a contemplation that TRANSLATES into Love? Mio Caro, adesso, vecchio, the diamond in your Eye still  rivets my soul and  "Pappilion"  our years?
Sing OUT LOUD; a kiss, a loving Whisper; and forgive me:  O' mi permetti di cantare la tua Vita?. Asperto, Amore.; Canzone. ...



(It's a song. Mostly caroused in the Italiano-Siciliano language.)

Our Man in Europe/dave delacroix/ "FACEBOOK LOVE."



(dedicato: Guitar-Man, REX MOSER)



...I was AT a Birthday (Festa di Complianno) party...I'm writing this by hand; NO Official-Dom, 'cept the stamp from the Ring on my Pinkie? Which like a ring from a King of England, as in past times, a warrant for your HEAD upon an executioner's block?
Under TORTURE? Who SWEARS?  A FURNACE! Dance! Who JASPERS, dies, dead, and then makes SWEET lyric and be-moans the other side? (Your Publicity/Facebook/Timeline?) A torture? Burning flesh whilst an " In-fra tri-cide"? And LET that dynamic fondle your Intimacy;  King takes Pawn. Bishop, Knight, King losers crown; Queen menstruates? Check.mate? Like an engagement? And  Brother eats Brother. (YUMMY-YUMMY) Intellectual Cannibalism. (There's actually a sea-gale going on outside my window?) COME! TAKE DOWN YOUR HORN, CALIOPE"! -John Heath-Stubbs! Come, you roving  Minstrels! Come U Bankers! Come U JEWS of Solidity! Come U MAIDENS: Smile?... (Sweetie-Pie?) And if nothing else; join my hand, sweet maidens. Come SMILE. Come, "Bella's! Join my hand? In the Dance -if U dare? Fall upon your knees, like I; and give your Life away...as in  the year of our Lord, 2017, at a Birthday party.. with  a host, hosting, with absent-Facebook friends: absent? (Whoopie-Doo!) And reap what you thnk sown? And reap your Facebook Love. And no-one's there?

Our Man in Europe/dave delacroix/ "ZIPPO"!

(dedicato: Paul Z. Zermeno)


The ZIPPO cigarette Lighter, that I always filled, a present from a Mexicano-American friend, which I've never lost or threw away, still lights my Night and encompasses my - sometimes? - vanquished Day in this present World queue of an IMMIGRATION of Souls? And just WHO do I share it with; Man or Beast, in the HURDY-GURDY of Political confusion...where the light flickers, Hope, and then: OUT?...

Our Man in Europe/dave delacroix/ "The Traveller.."


When I left New York City I missed the Sirens.
When I left Denver, Colorado, I missed the longhorn whistle of the prairie-freight train.
When I left Paris I missed the confusion?
Or Venice;  the lagoon waters, lapping on my Palazzo steps?
When I left Mombasa; the cries of the Boys, out there, destroying the Kenyan reef in the morning ebb-tide?
And when I left L.A., the Freeway ROAR, next door, traffic  headin' to some Paradise, somehow integral, yet UN-found?
When I left Berlin, only scars of a great War, impressions, intrusive, where once  Evil ruled supreme? Nor Hermitage; where icy cold fingers cannot reach; such souvenirs resound?
When I left my home town in England I didn't miss a trick, taking it WITH me without and within?  Yet when I left YOU or U left ME; an inverted sovereignty prevailed, that's heart - to this day? -  palpitating, still  drives a traveller...further on.
