Kate

I have a dear friend, who lives at the end
   of the deep Mediterranean sea,
A girl from Greece, whose mission was peace
   became a true friend to me.
I found a panel in an art museum,
   that portrays my lovely maid,
Flowers in her hair, and curls that lie bare,
   Her eyes shine bright as the day.


To Laura

Walk in heaven, sleeps in bowers of grass!
I'm talking to Laura, in her tower of glass.
Go to where grass blows like sea foam,
Go to the land, where buffalo roam.
Where oceans of stalks, sing like waves.
Leave the commotion, in that city of knaves.

A Vámpír a Pennsylvania



On a feed through Pennsylvania,
I felt my need for Transylvania.
From that damp bed back in Most,
Where last I buried my Czech ghost,
To this cellar dark and wet,
I won't go there, at least not yet . . .
I'll roam the Allegheny nights,
To see what plain poetry can fright.
Before dawn I'll slink to my berth,
But wake anon, in stinking earth.
The touch of soil, my native mud,
Brings to boil, my lust for blood.

The St. Louis Hat


I chatted with a rapper, he wore a hat that was dapper
A trick was stuck inside,
For as he composed, his head fell and rose,
But his hat would jump as he sighed.

"That's sick - what's in there?", I asked on a dare,
"Is it a trick or a ferret?"
"Either alive or takes orders, from the man at its borders,
  could it be a snake or a parrot?"

He just winked, "Whatever you think,
I'm certainly not telling you!
Write me a script, and make it real hip,
 and I'll think about telling the truth . . "

" I can't rid my soul of this dammed dogger-roll . . .
   I hear it at night in my bed!
   Let me hear prose, or smell a red rose . . . 
   This meter keeps banging me dead."

"We're minstrels with pistols, out writing missals,
  the words inside us are stewing, . . .

 "Perhaps in St. Louis, where the blues sound is truest,
  there I'll give you some clue-in'!"
