Book of Longing, Philip Glass / Leonard Cohen

Poems, pictures, music 

show Glass' and Cohen's longing:

so last century.

I had the pleasure of attending a Glass concert in the Bass Concert Hall in Austin (Feb. 22, 2009). And a pleasure it was. Then I started to think about not just what I heard, but what I had seen, too, and it had the feeling of a presentation with plastic decks. Liked musicians and singers, though.

Plastic Lives Haiku

Streets full of litter
the wind blowing bags and cups
wherever it turns.



(no. I am not depressed. )

Texas Winter

Hard land, dusty crusts,
splashing, soaking rain leaves clouds
of brown scent sprouting.
