dedicated to Daniela
She held the whole scene
in macro
nested
in her chopped
disenfranchised
hair
She held the energetics
In a moving
fashionable
current
rush
By land
air
sea
dream
scape
original
choppy
draft copy
the lens
through which she
saw was
the lens
through which we all
saw was
rose
in spring
in fall
in summer
in winter
bloom
a slight
tinge of
homage to
tributary from
homeland
which called
and called
and called
and dialed up
incense
hot
hot
choppy
heat
There she was
cross-legged
in the foreground
my friend
the Czech
Choppy Dialect
wraps of scarves
continuity of thought
provoking
action
There she was
my friend
the Czech
dispossessed
brilliant
provocative
Having traveled so very far
her heart
wrapped in silks
placed
non-chalantly
in my lucky
lost
life
She loved to dance
she could recite a mantra
She enjoyed a vodka
and maybe a smoke
or two
or three
or ten
thousand
never enough
She traveled by Jeep
through tunnels
through lucid dreams
When we got together
when she arrived
i felt the reunification
every time
with all my heart
what was left of it
She would
humbly disown
generously loan
whatever she had
if she could
and did
Still I could never
get enough
of her
We traveled by Jeep
when we could
the fabric
our friendship
around us
And the light
many a dark night
collected around her
and sustained us
The light
what was left of it
collected around us
sustained us
until dawn
the light
collected
sustained
the fabric
my friend
myself
And
threaded
the dawn
