White Tailed Deer at Night
the white tailed deer would greet
at night Jameson Canyon
a coffee colored Chevy Impala.
the stars sneaking a peak
illustrious evening with
a Peter Murphy soundtrack
Hills slipping into the sky
some of the houses with their lights on
in a new napa horizon
the river with a concert of frogs
and leaves stirring in a breeze
the beats were a few years away in Tucson
the City Light (palasades) Booksstore
in San Francisco
with a Lawrence Ferlinghetti vase painting
a painting of a vase of bookshelves
cable cars and the electric buses which
spark like the stars above the napa nights
with the white tailed deer
fog horn buoys
and waves that lap like the fragrant grasses
in an early summer breeze in the napa canyon
with the white tailed deer peaking out
at the curious headlights
some of them standing next to the
trees
which are still and
the breeze of the cars
tucson the tucson mountains over the horizon
past the trees
and the beats like
ferlinghetti and rexroth
sitting in a coffee table
by the river restaurant
looking at the leaves
in the trees
over the white tailed deer
standing on the dirt parapet
over the almost highway
