First photo taken at Bogle Vineyard in San Joaquin Valley during my 9-month Jack Kerouac-esque road trip, thus the map of the trek (2nd pic), documented by the "brief" verses below and many others, compiled in my 8th book (3rd pic)...
desert
15 sep 2013
winnemucca, nev.
the tiny dash of it
not a gusty fit
like salt or pepper
to stones aloof as lepers
silenced, politely blown
as well honed then spent
the present as future's past
hence the edited gasps
first spitted, spewed last
as poetry's final vomit

drink
14 oct 2013
coeur d'alene, ida.
look to skies past for cumulus stains
breathe deeply beyond current strains
more so, drink the wine until remain
the fain space and inner refrain

contentment
3 nov 2013
friday harbor, san juan is.
november's kiss then cool caress
before icy grind by winter's bite
and frore finesse mid endless night
yet, for now, the autumn's end
oh contentment, tho' death foments
his shrouded smirk, hence to it
wrenching a grin per smile within

strait
7 nov 2013
sidney, b.c.
her kiss stings, accordingly bestows
ushering a forth-cum-ing wintertide
briny sips, then respiring lips, slow
low, bold to rimy skin, thus fits pied
stutter-stepped in time's cold throes

coastline
25 nov 2013
cambria/cayucos, calif.
the landscape's beauty falls long
while the sea's duty thrusts strong
between the hips, betwixt the thighs
by twilight's sighs into the moonrise
so wondrously violent the collision
ardent artistry per confrontation
---
flesh
28 nov 2013
avalon, santa catalina is.
sun and breeze vies then dies
upon flesh exposed, unclothed
per choices supposed, spewed
ere chewed, liken vomited words
sibilant herds, soulless sounds
duly, tears confound akin rain
spate sustained in late season
thus respective reasons to go
afar and slow in poetical rut

mannequins
13 apr 2014
st. augustine, fla.
lilted notes of tilted piano keys
or melded hertz flirting to flee
weds to cigar smoke and perfume
equally, as attar-tokens that loom
crowning a hundred heads or more
gowning mannequins as wine pours
---
sorceress
16 apr 2014
key largo, fla.
o sorceress of the wayward isles
graced and styled by mantles wild
'tween stints like cafe aisles
flitting mid the grins and wiles
as well the grails of coveted guile
