'little ditty 'bout...

Seventh gem Celt American,
fond of nectar nights,
dreamer of starry sights,
words, sound, vision...
drum till wormsign,
dance till dawn,
pushing passion's pawn...

Projections of Kali in the Kitchen
...our Mid-West fiction,
And San Francisco Nob-Hill-Nicotine-dream
...All those films
we light up the silver moon


A Brooklyn band
like NYC TailHead man...

Pacific North West
...to new homestead! New family man...

-Single Dos Trio- the band...
Yazzie & Popp
Turn into Mothlight...

...Wherever we be
the bird & the sea
