Almond touch  sketch

   of shade

 

on wood

you work with

your hands

to stay alive

 

 

green leaves in the window

bed in Paris shadow

                    stucco

                    and cologne

 

night

dye me blue candle

            blue

 

 

almond etching

 

lost souls

in madness

 

 

we brave

the wind

and hug the earth

   

mimosa tree

in the window

it began

back in the night

out of the rain

dragon fan lamp

sleep in silk and sea

 

empty span

 tea smoke

 

 

moon and candle cross

waves wax

the light on the wine crate

 

sleep of green

far away

my shawl

                                                     on the chair

                                                     turning star

 

bird print                    in wind

 Wind burn

wax falls

dim haunt

moon

in the window

winter called

and lay down

on you

                     - Jade

 

 

 

 murder

coal streaks

to my heart raw

dark coral

souls burn and fly

in the fire

                                            ninth life

                                            with the gold dust run away

stark

eyes of one

who loved you

 

i feel your breathe

in the western wind

of dusk

you loved me

                    -       jade

 

 

                                                 through the trees

porch lantern

the hill dog barks

 

through sun

and stars and moons

that blow and blend

 

                    -     jade

 

 china wind

on Salmon

glass sea

kisses

melt and whisper

sun ash

sands the junks

of rice wood and shells

dark at night

 

hibiscus water

grains in far east skies

        rose tea rinse

wispy pale

 

        songs

of leaves and willows

        in loves embers

        this is where I come from

 

mouths that touch

 

-    jade

 

   

 

visitation

 

soft man

you drag your bones

as your heart

 

 

your thin voice

swells as the moon

in halls of men who will not be men

 

through men

who call time a fool

I stand in love

                             slow and close            with the dark

 

and the stars

 

who stalk markers

for a vision

   in the stone

                       

                        I walk along these lights

                                                            Of my dark tower

 

                                                And seal its name

 

                                                In my soul

                                                                                 -       jade

 

 

the glitter the night gave

my skin

the taunts to glass eyed men

 

tea lamp glow

broken faces of sculpture

 

i laid down to sleep

don't hug the man i live with

don't fit the hip

of the man i live with

 

scalloped cheekbone dog

i walked in the wind

 

he plays ivory bells

to the moon in my bed

i could only love

the moon

that taunts

 

-       jade

 

 like caves

they roar and flap

the streets,

in webbed wind

 

the moon melts

in the rain

one horn moans

across the ocean for

tunes the wind and shadows

dreaming

bending

the last note

 

tunes the dancer

and fallen heart

goes away moaning

                                                in the rain

tiny taps

quiet slick street blues

 

-       jade
