My world never moved on from there
What should I dare become?
Ready drifter, astro-naught,
multi-hyphenate creative?
Beginning on the margin again
Beginner, constantly "un-"
Constantly blown by solar winds
My follicles untether
Rods skip cones, my focus
pan-galactic smithereens
What flakes of sound can write this SNOW?
in which now loses as "S"
and then an "O"
What next?

I've never advanced a single step
Equilibrium, homeostasis
Tight fit, clinging fabric of pulsar
Entropy, everything so near,
no city, no center.
Just a fan blowing a breeze
for no face. Just a poem
spoken for, broken from
a gathering of the nations of words!
Who-hoa. Heart-beat caldera
Glowing blind, thumped
in hunch-back gloom

Must mist sybilline whispers

The poem really starts to come to life
when it being read for the first time
as if it were being written in the mind of the reader
who does a double-take, trying to figure
where it all comes from, where it's going
where the poem is coming from
inside itself, siphoned outward

Vociferous shift

Mean Flow & Marco Lucchi - From gardens where we ( should ) feel secure

telephone the twilite zone and check the mists aswirling 
and see if they have got a line on a fella named rod serling.
set him down and warm his bones and enquire so politely
about his health and what he sees in the zone on TV nightly
reruns reruns reruns, ozzie desi lucy, beaver follows sky king
so much time who can be choosy
chorus
black and white, no blue no red,
there’s no color in the zone when you’re dead
black and white, no yellow no green
we all live forever on the silver screen.

press the button, change the channel, what is real distinguished panel
doctors lawyers cops and robbers, cowboys indians knowing fathers
endless talk show sitcom movie, of your fate it does behoove me
to forewarn you, to advise, less your demise should surprise
no hot flames no sulphur pits, repeats are the worst of it.
chorus 
black and white, not blue no red,
there’s no color in the zone when you’re dead
black and white, no yellow no green
the dead live forever on the TV screen.
they’re timeless lights and shadow
live forever though they’re cancelled
change the station change the view
i think they died from deja vu.

Paradoxe D'Olbers (augmented)

Is anyone still out there?
Well hello there if you are taking some of your valuable time to read this! As the lyrics to this (probably)final song say, its been a long while……
The last time I checked into Soundcloud was maybe last December, wow…. 
I packed up for a holiday in Hawaii, ran the Honolulu Marathon, watched a volcano erupt, cast my dog’s ashes into a lava field and drank a tropical island's worth of cocktails while watching the sunset with my wife. And then returned a few weeks later decidedly unenthused about the Cat and my collaborator.
Gina had been making noises about returning to an on again / off again musical partner. That wasn’t unexpected and was actually a bit of a relief as I hadn’t been enjoying this for a while. Our last few songs had been tortuous to finish, including this one which was finally finished I think way back in October 2022.
Cat Came Back was always a lot like an arranged marriage - nothing at all in common but we kind of made it work 3 minutes at a time. But by late last year, it had become very hard work. And as you fellow Soundclouders know, outside of personal satisfaction, the rewards for all of that hard work are not very large. So, if the personal satisfaction is gone, there’s not a lot left to motivate oneself. 
In addition to that, there were a few rather large elephants in the room regarding my collaborator that I won't go into but nevertheless constantly weighed very heavily on my mind throughout our time together and I was finding these increasingly difficult to continue to ignore for the sake of making music together.
So anyway, when I returned a perhaps brief hiatus accidentally turned into this - silence for what, 7-8 months? Haven’t picked up an instrument in all that time and they currently sit in my garage gathering dust. Took up Chess, what a rabbit hole that is! Continued running. Listening as always to a lot of old jazz. Continued seemingly never ending renovations to my house. Spent a lot of time with my lifelong friend, William Styron’s Black Dog, as a matter of fact he's here sitting right by my side now. 
So what now? I sat down a few days back and listened to a few things that were unfinished as of late last year. Maybe its time to start again. Find a new collaborator or two? Anyone know anyone who might be a match?
In the meantime I’ll dip my toe in and check out what some of my favourite Soundclouders have been up to while I was away. I'm sure I've missed out on some really great stuff.
