I'm walking, and the morning fog Lime—stoned imagination Licks my face Begin in boys a harmless game, My eyes A wide blue sea sprays endless prisms My hands. Along the wide white rim without dissonant shame.

Around me I see men The sun is round and fading Rushing And mild to the flesh of the wanderer; (with plastic—pressed briefcases) Who would gather a form on form With smile—less faces that contain Would assume the shade of a plunderer? Nothing. (They shove "excuse me" On a day the breezes stop, and wait for lights to The wide wide sea reflects, and is not motion, blink Quiet becomes a shaping hemisphere, from The gulls fall down to new devotion. "Wait to A gaseous dark twilight expands "Walk") From the core of a disenchanted form, They hold their glance straight ahead It creeps over the green and vallied score, Blank. Gathering airs for the hour of the storm.

I wonder, as I start to But for now the play is new, Feel the gray foginess of Yet free, abound in scents and flowers, Both people and mist, Time's essence is forgetfulness, Whether Full joy unburdened of its hours, Fog reflects the men Or the Laughter is eternal faun, Men reflect the fog. Ever and ever the way of the eye, Yet the wide blue sea is reflective, still, At least the fog I have seen the gulls lay down and die. Lifts When the sun burns its grayness. Carl Homa At least the fog doesn't Smother The fire In the early morn of night's awakening But sacrifices itself to a higher gulls announce mr. sun Beauty. dipping their wings in fancy flight in the rippling surf of a sand Have these men ever powder beach.

Special me? No. Jeff Yorinks Special you? Yes, unfortunately. The one I should love Is a man, not a boy. Silence is the key. He has an idea Not enough was said. Fixed in his mind; Now, silence. A picture of what life And the words are of no use. Has to offer him, And what he wants from it. A mistake was made By me; I too have a fixed idea; I fell A picture of what he should look iike..

But one question left unasked, And yet the one I do love Unanswered. Has none of this outward virility; Why did you have to kiss me goodnight? In its stead is the desire A kiss means hope; To learn, to care, to love. A kiss means yes. And love is to feed the mind You meant no. As well as the body. You didn't have to kiss me, And so I do love him; Now did you? For he is a man. December 8, 1967 The Oakland Observer Poetry Section - 3

But only when the wind is gentle And the haze is in a hurry I don't need a light to write And moves on quick down these words Pale reflections That we can see it. For my ball is strong tonight of a green moon Crystal clear it shines Giving out powers The essence of being and other being Growing larger and larger And taking them back too. Nothing of note Till it covers the sky But reticence in a pattrn Throwing all its powers over There is that whisper of wind Revolving rythmically around the center The earth Colder now Revealing the flesh and beyond For the moon is magic Sweeping faster now To acquiesce As we all know. Trying harder now to the pull To draw me back Regurgitating everything but the pit It's powers are many of the funnel All are strong and true But I won't go.
