[A Thousand Leaves 1998] Hits of Sunshine (for Allen Ginsberg)
Today I Said goodbye To my conflicted goddess Her lush eyes Show surprise At how we could gather knowledge The painting has a dream Where shadow breaks the scene And the colors run off Blue is bashful Green is my goal Yellow girls are running backwards Until the nextime With six hits of sunshine The lights will blind up with blues in haiku The shadow has a dream Where painters look to sea The colors burn out Now I know where I once saw you Stepping into muddy water John's reflection Decried perfection Now you walk him through the gardren Waiting in the wings Painters shade their dreams With falling colors See me wave good Bye forever Happiness the goddess lover Hurry back re Member last time The hits of sunshine The hits of goldmine I'll see you back tonite Where painters love the light And yellow shadow girls Today I Say goodbye To my complicious goddess Her hushed eyes Show surprise And how we captured knowledge I'll see you back tonite Where shadows dream of light Let's slip on outside
