Blind Man

for Maurice Lacy ( albino poet of the west) in the Venice West

 

The unmistakable sound
of an eye blinking
and knowing
mine were the only eyes open
I knew someone was there
I could not see
knowing I could never see
only listen
and yet I knew
it was a stranger
for I had never
heard his eyes before
now I hear
what his eyes see
all they see
is a blind man
sitting in the corner
listening...

beat poets
home from the war
forbidden to speak it

wrote it
on the wall
art is love is God

venice west
a quiet place
to blow a poem
in your coffee
listening to monk

the naivety
to change things
world gone wrong

generation
of protest
sounds

a soprano sax
song to the lady
a wail
in the night
