creole resting
place
stars awash in river
moon hanging bright & listless
above tenement
clawing thru the chain-link of
too many vacant lots wired
like circles
vast units of entertainment
colored flowers on
wallshirts
obvious secretions lost
in trumpet
venturing out toward e-motion

night has become a city without margins
at the height of the heat of some renaissance
on harlem's edge
there is no such thing as stop(ped) motion
shouting innocence usurped unsurprising
sorely missed
heat flows chill my neck
& black shirted trumpeter wipes his brow
with a blood red cloth
moon awash in river of candleblues
earth colors piercing our ears
saxophony extraordinary
as 2 tenors pronounce every microscopic
sound speck
every range of fuckoff & nearer
pushed into the stoodup
blowing being catalyst
immediately bordered by projections
this is truly a war of peace
for instance:
this is event to the head
then deeper into sweet dessert
cracked up & dark moving thru
the face of situation
piano falling softly thru a room
awash with faces
density of a late dying summer night
wired like circles
moon
haven of elegance
white keys depressed
in melancholic conviction
unequivocally messing
with trigger
quick emotional struggle
weapons of peace
contrabass attacking the whatnots
of subtleness
coinciding struggles
cultural quantums steadily
drummed into us
freaky epiphanies situated in
no-man's-land
resources within a vast expanse of
he's & she's
& the narrower spaces that humility
& pointing towards advance
exactly brings
SHOOT ME?
here even the furniture runs
excitedly
roamers unleashed -
i'm right up front with
the horns
if god had wanted me to stay home
tonight
"he" would have found a way
to do so.

day
by the
river
who is it that sd.
what most of us no longer
remember?
it's a moving thing
evening
sparks of fish-light lying
boys caressing
shadows jogging
not reaching
proper lowpoint between
structures
moving south
again
boy's hand stroking genitals
beneath cloth
kayaks rippling toward
pier
when i was young
evening always had its
good side
despite my ignorances
this sun masterful from this chair

2 pairs of spectacles from
my pocket

still so much to
learn
falling without sound

Steven Dalachinsky was born in Brooklyn, New York sometime after the last Big War and before lots of useless little wars...he has been writing poetry since before then and has always...he is basically self-taught...his great loves and influences are the Beats, Blake, Kafka, Camus, Harpo, surreal and abstract painting and music......especially jazz and so-called "Avante Guarde" or "FREE" jazz. Two key elements in his poetry are spontaneity and the idea of transformation rather than description with a preference toward non-linear, non-narrative thought. He resides in Manhattan where he has lived for the past 30 years.
